Monte Carlo electron cascade calculations of atomic FeII (solid lines) and FeIII (dashed lines) are shown above where the color corresponds to an equivalent number of electrons lost from the valence through Auger–Meitner events (NAuger) in the two Fe species. The probabilities for each state are given with respect to all electronic configurations (including non [Ne]3s23p5 states). At long times (≥1 ps), [Ne]3s23p53dt2gy states comprise 18 and 21% of all possible electronic states for FeII and FeIII atoms, respectively. The instrument response function of the present experiment (~14 fs) is denoted by the red diamond on the time axis. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
