Abstract
We have conducted an experimental study on the photo double ionization (PDI) of carbon dioxide dimers and oxygen dimers, while focusing on the dissociation dynamics upon single photon absorption. The results in terms of the kinetic energy and angular distributions of the charged particles show unambiguous experimental evidence of intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD) in carbon dioxide dimers. In the oxygen dimer, the results show that ICD is accompanied by knock-off ionization mechanisms.
