Specific chemical bond relaxation unravelled by analysis of shake-up satellites in the oxygen single site double core hole spectrum of CO$_2$

We developed recently [A. Ferté, et al., J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 11, 4359 (2020)] a method to compute single site double core hole (ssDCH or K$^{-2}$) spectra. We refer to that method as NOTA+CIPSI. In the present paper this method is applied to the O K$^{-2}$ spectrum of the CO$_2$ molecule, and we use this as an example to discuss in detail its convergence properties. Using this approach, a theoretical spectra in excellent agreement with the experimental one is obtained. Thanks to a thorough interpretation of the shake-up states responsible for the main satellite peaks and with the help of a comparison with the O K$^{-2}$ spectrum of CO, we can highlight the clear signature of the two non equivalent carbon oxygen bonds in the oxygen ssDCH CO$_2$ dication.

Superfluorescence, free-induction decay, and four-wave mixing: propagation of free-electron laser pulses through a dense sample of helium ions

We report an experimental and numerical study of the propagation of free-electron laser pulses (wavelength 24.3 nm) through helium gas. Ionisation and excitation populates the He$^{+}$ 4$p$ state. Strong, directional emission was observed at wavelengths of 469 nm, 164 nm, 30.4 nm, and 24.5 nm. We interpret the emissions at 469 nm and 164 nm as 4$p$-3$s$-2$p$ cascade superfluorescence, that at 30.4 nm as yoked superfluorescence on the 2$p$-1$s$ transition, and that at 25.6 nm as free-induction decay of the 3$p$ state.

Simultaneous measurements of super-radiance at multiple wavelengths from helium excited states: (I) Experiment

In this paper, we report the results of measurements of the intensities and delays of super-radiance decays from excited helium atoms at multiple wavelengths. The experiment was performed using extreme ultraviolet radiation produced by the free electron laser at the SPring-8 Compact SASE Source test accelerator facility as an excitation source. We observed super-radiant transitions on the $1s3p \to 1s2s$ ($λ=$502 nm), $1s3d \to 1s2p$ ($λ=$668 nm), and $1s3s \to 1s2p$ ($λ=$728 nm) transitions. The pulse energy of each transition and its delay time were measured as a function of the target helium gas density. Several interesting features of the data, some of which appear to contradict with the predictions of the simple two-level super-radiance theory, are pointed out.
