Correlation between Core-Hole Polarization and Localized Bond Rupture Probed by Anisotropy in the Photofragmentation of F1sExcitedSF6

Abstract
Anisotropic photofragmentation of SF6 following F 1s excitation is ascribed to the localization of the valence holes created as a result of the Auger decay of the F 1s core hole, itself polarized by excitation with linearly polarized light. Theoretical calculations based on the localized core-hole model are in reasonable agreement with the observation.
