Abstract
Fano-ADC is a family of ab initio methods for prediction of electronic decay widths in excited, singly- and doubly-ionized systems. It has been particularly successful in elucidating the geometry dependence of the inter-atomic decay widths in clusters and facilitated prediction of new electronic decay phenomena. However, the available Fano-ADC schemes are limited to the second order treatment of the initial state and fist-order treatment of the final states of the decay. This confines the applicability of the Fano-ADC approach to first-order decay processes, e.g. normal but not double Auger decay, and compromises the numerical accuracy of the schemes through the unbalanced treatment of electronic correlation. Here we introduce the ADC(2,2) approximation for singly ionized states which describes both initial and final states of the decay up to second order. We use the new scheme to construct the Fano-ADC(2,2) approximation for the decay widths and show that it provides superior accuracy for the decay widths of a series of processes. Moreover, the Fano-ADC(2,2) method provides access to second-order decay processed, such as double Auger decay, which are qualitatively beyond reach of the previously available Fano-ADC implementations.
