Photo double ionization of H2
resp. of D2or
the correlated motion of electrons in a two center coulomb potential
• Fragmentation of molecules: Franck-Condon model• Experimental technique: Imaging of the momentum space• Dynamics of the electrons in a single and a two center potential
Emission of two electrons from a single- and a double center - coulomb potential

Franck-Condon model:… the energy levels in the molecule (static)

ion energy
fragmentation kin. energy of the nuclei
how to describe a simple molecule ?... the pro’s and contra’s and the limitations ...
Heitler - London• solution of SE with sym. wave functions (including the spin)• consideration of all exchanges/interactions• establishment of a stabile H2 possible (error in binding energy = 1.4 eV)• description of wave function only very roughly
Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO)• description of two electrons in the field of a H2
+ ion• molecular orbital: Linear combination of atomic wave functions• good prediction of the electronic probability distribution in the molecule• error in binding energy is bigger than in H - L model
Born - Oppenheimer• separation of the electronic motion and the motion of the nuclei• adiabatic modulation of the electrons• simplified calculations; nuclei momenta set up along molecular axis• open question: How do these systems interact or couple...?
The “strange” nature of the molecule/atom … which effects play an important role ?
Electron emission for “equal energy-sharing”
e2e1 k k • Coulomb repulsion favorites
“back-to-back emission”
e2e1 k- k • selection rules:...electrons are fermions... complete wave function is antisymmetricrule of Hundt: Spin is antisym. r-/k-space has to be sym.
