Abstract

Core-level photoemission from N₂ can be considered an analogue of Young's double-slit experiment (YDSE) in which the double-slit is replaced by a pair of N 1s orbitals. The measured ratio between the 1σ_g and 1σ_u photoionization cross-sections oscillates as a function of photoelectron momentum, due to two-center YDSE interference, exhibiting a remarkable dependence on the vibrational sub-levels of the core ionized state. We theoretically demonstrate that the recoil of the photoelectron given to the ionized N atom strongly influences this interference pattern. The reason for this is that the momentum transfer affects the phases of the photoionization amplitudes.
