摘要: The creation and relaxation of double $K$-hole states ${\rm 1s}^0{\rm 2s}^22{\rm p}^6n$p ($n\geq3$) of Ne$^{1+}$ in the interaction with ultraintense ultrafast x-ray pulses are theoretically investigated. The x-ray photon energies are selected so that x-rays first photoionize ${\rm 1s}^22{\rm s}^22{\rm p}^6$ of a neon atom to create a single $K$-hole state of ${\rm 1s}2{\rm s}^22{\rm p}^6$of Ne$^{1+}$, which is further excited resonantly to double $K$-hole states of $1{\rm s}^02{\rm s}^22{\rm p}^6n$p ($n\geq3$). A time-dependent rate equation is used to investigate the creation and relaxation processes of $1{\rm s}^02{\rm s}^22{\rm p}^6n$p, where the primary microscopic atomic processes including photoexcitation, spontaneous radiation, photoionization and Auger decay are considered. The calculated Auger electron energy spectra are compared with recent experimental results, which shows good agreement. The relative intensity of Auger electrons is very sensitive to the photon energy and bandwidth of x-ray pulses, which could be used as a diagnostic tool for x-ray free electron laser and atom experiments.
