Abstract

Photoionization of an atom A, in the presence of a neighboring atom B, can proceed via resonant excitation of B with subsequent energy transfer to A through two-center electron-electron correlation. We demonstrate that this two-center mechanism can strongly outperform direct photoionization at nanometer internuclear distances and possesses characteristic features in its time development and the spectrum of emitted electrons.
