Spin asymmetry in electron-impact ionization

Electron-impact ionization of Mg

A pulsed crossed beam technique is used to measure ionization cross-sections of metallic atoms. Relative values of cross-sections of single, double and triple ionization of magnesium have been successfully measured with good accuracy over the 0-700 eV range. Absolute values of cross-sections have been obtained by normalization to a theoretical value at high electron energy. Results are compared...

Absolute Electron Impact Ionization Cross

Normalized values of cross sections for the production of ions by electron impact on N20 and NO have been obtained by utilizing the relative flow technique. The accurately known values of cross sections for the production of singly charged ions of rare gases from the parent atoms have been used for the normalization. Cross sections for the generation of fragment ions have been measured for the ...

Electron impact ionization of H_2+

The electron impact ionization cross section of H2 is calculated using a distortedwave approximation. The calculated cross section is compared to the experimental results of Peart and Dolder. The simplicity of the system allows an assessment of the accuracy of the distorted-wave approximation without complications from inaccuracies in the target state, initial continuum state, or final continuu...

Electron-Impact Excitation and Ionization in Air

In a partially ionized hypersonic flow field, electron collision plays a significant role in energy re-distribution and in the production of excited states of atoms and molecules that can subsequently radiate. Thus electron collision data is part of the database used in modelling high speed entry flows. First principles computational methods for the calculation of electron-impact data are revie...
