Decay dynamics of Interatomic Coulombic Decay in small clusters

Till Jahnke
Universität Frankfurt

The time evolution of Interatomic Coulombic Decay (ICD) is predicted to be highly complex, as the decayís efficiency strongly depends on the distance of the atoms involved and this distance typically changes during the decay. The talk will present experimental results concerning the nuclear dynamics that occur during and after the decay and their dependence on the size of the decaying cluster.
