Hitherto UnrecognizedIntermolecular Coulombic DecayMechanism in Gases

Abstract Excited atoms and molecules can utilize their excess energy to ionize a neighboring system by a process named interatomic and intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD). ICD is ultrafast, in the femtosecond regime, and has many modes of appearance. Ample applications of ICD ha...
