Abstract
Photon-stimulated ion desorption (PSID) from solid Si(CH3)2Cl2 following Cl 2p core-level excitation has been investigated along with the resonant photoemission spectra using synchrotron radiation. The Cl L23-edge total-electron yield spectrum of solid Si(CH3)2Cl2 mainly exhibits the Cl 2p→15a1*, Cl 2p→10b1* and shape resonance peaks. A significant dissimilarity between the Cl L23-edge total-electron yield spectrum and Cl+ PSID spectrum of solid Si(CH3)2Cl2 is observed. The desorption of atomic Cl+ ions is detected predominantly at the Cl 2p→15a1* excitation, while scarcely any Cl+ ions are observed following the Cl 2p→10b1* excitation and Cl 2p→shape resonance excitation. This indicates that the character of bound terminating orbital has a significant influence on the desorption processes. The enhanced Cl+ desorption yield at the Cl 2p→15a1* resonance is attributed to the the fast desorption process originating from the localization of the spectator electron in the strong antibonding orbital.
