Abstract
This paper shows that Auger emission is not the only way for core-ionized Ar atoms to decay by electron emission, if they are embedded in a cluster. The observed core-level interatomic Coulombic decay had hitherto been considered to be negligible in such weakly bound systems as van der Waals clusters.
