Electron Capture by Highly Charged Ions from Surfaces and Gases
In this study highly charged ions produced in Electron Beam Ion Traps are used to investigate electron capture from surfaces and gases. The experiments with gas targets focus on spectroscopic measurements of the K-shell x-rays emitted at the end of radiative cascades following electron capture into Rydberg states of Ar and Ar ions as a function of collision energy. The ions are extracted from a...
متن کاملDefect mediated desorption of the KBr(001) surface induced by single highly charged ion impact.
The individual impacts of slow (300 eV/amu) highly charged Xe ions induce nanometer sized pitlike structures on the KBr (001) surface. The volume of these structures shows a strong dependence on the ions potential energy. Total potential sputter yields from atomically flat (001) terraces are determined by imaging single ion impact sites. The dependence of the sputter yield on the ions initial c...
متن کاملOn the nano-hillock formation induced by slow highly charged ions on insulator surfaces
We discuss the creation of nano-sized protrusions on insulating surfaces using slow highly charged ions. This method holds the promise of forming regular structures on surfaces without inducing defects in deeper lying crystal layers. We find that only projectiles with a potential energy above a critical value are able to create hillocks. Below this threshold no surface modification is observed....
متن کاملSurface nanostructures induced by slow highly charged ions on CaF2 single crystals
We present first results on the generation of surface nanostuctures by slow HCI on cleaved CaF2 (111) surfaces. The CaF2 single crystals were irradiated with slow (v 1 a.u.) Xe HCI from the Heidelberg-EBIT. Like for other ionic fluoride single crystals, ion-induced surface structures in CaF2 are known to be stable in atmospheric conditions at room temperature. After irradiation the crystals wer...
متن کاملCreation of nanohillocks on CaF2 surfaces by single slow highly charged ions.
Upon impact on a solid surface, the potential energy stored in slow highly charged ions is primarily deposited into the electronic system of the target. By decelerating the projectile ions to kinetic energies as low as 150 x q eV, we find first unambiguous experimental evidence that potential energy alone is sufficient to cause permanent nanosized hillocks on the (111) surface of a CaF(2) singl...
