Distributions of calculated Franck-Condon factors for autoionizing transitions are used to illustrate the way in which the vibrational structure of the photoelectron spectrum may be extended in a characteristic manner when the wavelength of the exciting radiation coincides with a resonance in the photoionization cross section of a diatomic gas. The calculations are found to be in good agreement with resonance wavelength photoelectron spectra from O2.


The Fano-Mies theory of configuration interaction is applied to the photoionization of diatomic molecules, yielding an expression which gives the relative intensity of vibrational peaks in photoelectron spectra when one or more autoionizing states are in the vicinity of the excitation energy. In some cases the vibrational intensity distribution depends only on Franck-Condon factors connecting autoionizing and final states. Illustrative calculations for O2 show the transition from this limit to the limit of direct photoionization as the line profile index decreases.
