A high resolution Ultra Soft X-ray (USX) emission spectrum of gaseous benzene has been recorded. The spectrum is interpreted by means of ab initio one-center intensities and electron spectroscopic data. A comparison is made with USX spectra of solid benzene showing a uniform shift towards higher photon energies for the gas phase spectrum. The solid and gas phase USX spectra show quite different satellite structure which is interpreted in terms of photon and electron excitation of spectra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
