Coherent localization exhibited by unequal Auger Doppler components

Abstract

If coherent superpositions such as the symmetry eigenstates gerade and ungerade are in turn coherently superimposed, localization occurs. This effect is studied by the intensities of the Doppler components of electrons emitted from dissociating fragments of superexcited O2. The measurements show clear evidence for such coherent localization. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
