Direct evidence for projectile charge-state dependent crater formation due to fast ions.

چکیده
We report on craters formed by individual 3 MeV/u Au (q(ini)+) ions of selected incident charge states q_(ini) penetrating thin layers of poly(methyl methacrylate). Holes and raised regions are formed around the region of the impact, with sizes that depend strongly and differently on q_(ini). Variation of q_(ini) of the film thickness and of the angle of incidence allows us to extract information about the depth of origin contributing to different crater features.

Charge state dependent energy deposition by ion impact.
We report on a measurement of craters in thin dielectric films formed by Xe(Q+) (26 ≤ Q ≤ 44) projectiles. Tunnel junction devices with ion-irradiated barriers were used to amplify the effect of charge-dependent cratering through the exponential dependence of tunneling conductance on barrier thickness. Electrical conductance of a crater σ(c)(Q) increased by 4 orders of magnitude (7.9 × 10(-4) μ...
متن کاملDirect excitations of He+ and Li++ ions by collisions with protons or antiprotons
The impact parameter formalism of the single-center close-coupling, first-, and second-order Born approximations have been applied to investigate direct excitations of Helium He+(2s) and Lithium Li++(2s) ions by colliding with protons or antiprotons. The total 3s, 3p, and 3d scaled excitation cross sections are calculated in the scaled impact energy region (2 to 1000 keV). The present work aims...
متن کاملDouble ionization of helium by fast bare ion collisions
A time-dependent close-coupling method is developed to treat the double ionization of helium by fast bare ion collisions. At high incident energies, charge transfer to the projectile is quite small, so that the two-electron wavefunction remains centred on the target, subject to a time-dependent projectile interaction. A multipole expansion of the projectile–atom interaction includes monopole, d...
متن کاملState-Selective Electron Capture Studied for U90+ Ions in Collisions with Gaseous Targets
In relativistic collisions involving high-Z projectiles and heavy target atoms, non-radiative electron capture (NRC) is a very important charge exchange process [1], a process mediated by three-body interaction. In general, a precise theoretical treatment of this process is very difficult to achieve since the Coulomb field of the fast moving projectile leads to distortions of the atomic target ...
متن کاملDesigning a Beam Stripper for Fast Ion - Slow Ion Collision (FISIC) Experiments at SPIRAL2
Performing Fast Ion Slow Ion Collision (FISIC) experiments is a long standing project for atomic collision physicists. Whereas such experiments are currently performed by high energy physicists, ion ion collisions for atomic physics have so far been performed only in the case of slow ions, in the context of magnetically confined plasmas. Besides the fundamental interest in understanding the mec...
