The engineering of these elements is determined by accurate knowledge of optical constants of the materials involved and by manufacturing accuracy. The major projects are reviewed. Finally, details and first results of the Hamburg focusing mirror scanning microscope are presented. With this instrument, imaging and microprobe analysis with less than 1μ resolution is possible in the energy range 20–1300 eV.

Of special value are the selective properties, which make it possible to separately study the different atomic species in a system and also to distinguish between the various orbital symmetries in the valence band.

The additional quality of excitation selectivity, introduced by the monochromatization, has opened up new possibilities for ultra‐soft x‐ray spectroscopy, and in the present paper a report on recent advances in this new field of research is given.","PeriodicalId":260551,"journal":{"name":"X‐ray and inner‐shell processes","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130626375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Selected examples on atomic and molecular photoionization of He, Li, Ne and CO are presented to substantiate the semiempirical concepts that correlations may be identified and further concept that correlations may be identified and further classified by their threshold and near‐threshold behaviour.

Due to the ejection of two electrons in the double ionization process, the fragmentation pattern—as characterized by the energy partitioning and the angular distribution of the fragments—become quite complicated. Therefore, a full view can be obtained only through a variety of coincidence experiments.This review deals mainly with photon‐induced double‐ionization processes in atoms and small molecules. Since coincidence experiments involve some basic and intrinsic difficulties, these aspects are treated first. Then it shall be demonstrated how distinct coincidence experiments can help to explore the double‐ionization process with its fragmentation pattern for three different classes of double ionization: direct double photoionization (one‐photon two‐electron emission), two‐step double ionization (photoionization and subsequent Auger decay) and two‐electron e...","PeriodicalId":260551,"journal":{"name":"X‐ray and inner‐shell processes","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115197738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
