Abstract
The silicon 2p photoelectron spectra of eleven molecules: , Si( , , ( , ( SiH, , , ( SiCl, ( SiI, , and , have been recorded at high experimental resolution. The spectra all exhibit broadening, and in some cases resolved fine structure resulting from the excitation of vibrations in the core-ionized molecules. Extensive use is made of the equivalent-cores approximation to aid in the interpretation of the observed vibrational structure. Chemical effects on the lifetime of the Si 2p core holes are postulated for the alkyl-silane molecular series and based on the linewidths obtained from deconvolutions of the experimental spectra with manifolds of vibrational bands.
