RESUMO

The transition process of the interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD), is an electronic radiationless transition process, driving molecular complexes or clusters to a doubly ionized final state. This process differs from the Auger effect, because it takes place from a neutral monomer after the absorption of a released amount energy of the neighboring monomer in the weakly bound molecule. This process has been theoretically studied and the most recent experimental evidence was observed with neon dimer. This work presents a description of the process and a detailed revision of the derivation for the distribution kinetic energy equation to the emitted electrons by ICD decay, with a small variation in the wave packet form of the transition for the final states , with non-Hermitian time-dependent theory.
