Multiple Atom Resonant Photoemission: A New Tool for Determining Near-Neighbor Atomic Identities and Bonding

Recent experiments have provided evidence of a previously unconsidered resonant process between interatomic electronic levels [1]. The process is conceptually similar to the well-known resonant phenomena between electronic levels within a single atom. However, the multiple atom nature of the new phenomenon is expected to make the process useful as a tool for studying near-neighbor bonding information
