We present an experimental and theoretical study of core-level ionization of small hetero- and homo-nuclear molecules employing circularly polarized light and address molecular-frame photoelectron angular distributions in the lights polarization plane (CP-MFPADs). We find that the main forward-scattering peaks of CP-MFPADs are slightly tilted with respect to the molecular axis. We show that this tilt angle can be directly connected to the molecular bond length by a simple, universal formula. The extraction of the bond length becomes more accurate as the photoelectron energy is increased. We apply the derived formula to several examples of CP-MFPADs of C 1s and O 1s photoelectrons of CO, which have been measured experimentally or obtained by means of ab initio modeling. The photoelectron kinetic energies range from 70 to 1000~eV and the extracted bond lengths agree well with the known bond length of the CO molecule in its ground state. In addition, we discuss the influence of the back-scattering contribution that is superimposed over the analyzed forward-scattering peak in case of homo-nuclear diatomic molecules as N$_2$.
We investigate angular emission distributions of the 1s-photoelectrons of N$_2$ ionized by linearly polarized synchrotron radiation at $h u=40$ keV. As expected, nondipole contributions cause a very strong forward-backward asymmetry in the measured
The application of a matrix-based reconstruction protocol for obtaining Molecular Frame (MF) photoelectron angular distributions (MFPADs) from laboratory frame (LF) measurements (LFPADs) is explored. Similarly to other recent works on the topic of MF
We show that the combination of two achiral components - atomic or molecular target plus a circularly polarized photon - can yield chirally structured photoelectron angular distributions. For photoionization of CO, the angular distribution of carbon
We have measured the molecular frame angular distributions of photoelectrons emitted from the Carbon K shell of fixed-in-space CO molecules for the case of simultaneous excitation of the remaining molecular ion. Normal and conjugate shake up states a
Ubiquitous to most molecular scattering methods is the challenge to retrieve bond distance and angle from the scattering signals since this requires convergence of pattern matching algorithms or fitting methods. This problem is typically exacerbated
