For the first time, the use of a traditional ionization source for ion mobility spectrometry (radioactive nickel ((63)Ni) beta emission ionization) and three alternative ionization sources (electrospray ionization (ESI), secondary electrospray ionization (SESI), and electrical discharge (corona) ionization (CI)) were employed with an atmospheric pressure ion mobility orthogonal reflector time-o...

chemical hardness (), absolute electronegativity (), and electrophilicity () have importantapplications in inorganic chemistry. these concepts are defined quantitatively as � � �� � ����,� � �� � ����, � � ������where i is the ionization energy and a is the electron affinity. in thisstudy, graphical method was used to see the relation of electron configuration with chemicalhardness, absolute...

Numerous investigations have focused on DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation; however, photoionization threshold energies of nucleic acid components in aqueous solution are not known. Herein, data from gas-phase photoelectron experiments have been combined with results from self-consistent field and post-self-consistent field molecular orbital calculations and with theoretical Gibbs free en...

We have studied an ionization of alkali-metal Rydberg atoms by blackbody radiation (BBR). The results of the theoretical calculations of ionization rates of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs Rydberg atoms are presented. Calculations have been performed for nS, nP and nD states which are commonly used in a variety of experiments, at principal quantum numbers n=8-65 and at the three ambient temperatures of 77...

Engine management systems (EMS) need feedback on combustion performance to optimally control internal combustion engines. Ion sensing is one of the cheapest and most simple methods for monitoring the combustion event in a spark ignited engine, but still the physical processes behind the formation of the ionization current are not fully understood. The goal here is to investigate models for ioni...
