Strongly enhanced backward emission of electrons in transfer and ionization.

چکیده
We studied three-dimensional angular distributions and longitudinal momentum spectra of electrons ejected in transfer plus ionization (TI), i.e., the ejection of one and the capture of a second target electron, for ion-helium collisions. We observe a pronounced structure strongly focused opposite to the projectile beam direction, which we associate with a new correlated TI mechanism proposed recently. This process contributes significantly to the total cross sections over a broad range of perturbations η, even at η as large as 0.5, where uncorrelated TI mechanisms were thought to be dominant.

Electron emission from carbon foils induced by keV ions
We have measured yields of electrons emitted in the forward and backward directions from ultrathin carbon foils due to 10–100 keV atomic and molecular projectiles. In general, electron yields are higher in the forward than in the backward direction. Their behavior with projectile type and energy can be explained by a competition of a forward peaked angular distribution of initial ionization eve...
متن کاملImpact ionization and light emission in InAlAs/InGaAs heterostructure field-effect transistors - Electron Devices, IEEE Transactions on
We present measurements on impact ionization effects, real space transfer of holes and electrons, and light emission occurring in n-channel InAlAdInGaAs heterostructure FieldEffect ”istors based on InP operated at high electric fields and at different temperatures. The channel electrons heated by the lateral electric field give rise to impact ionization and light emission. By comparing the elec...
متن کاملMicrodosimetry: experimental methods and medical applications
Introduction: Microdosimetry is a fundamental method that studies the nature of energy transfer in micron volumes in the particular biological cells. In a biological target, the amount of ionization does not indicate the magnitude of biological radiation-induced damage. However, the severity of biological harm depends strongly on the amount of the linear energy transfer along t...
متن کاملTheory of Gas Ionization by Intense Electromagnetic Fields
The distribution function of the electrons produced in the interaction between an intense electromagnetic wave and a neutral gas is derived and is shown to be nonequilibrium and anisotropic. By assuming that the time scale of gas ionization is much greater than the field period, it is shown that the electron distribution function formed in microwave and optical discharges has sharp anisotropy a...
متن کاملBackward Pragmatic Transfer: The Case of Refusals in Persian
The purpose of this study was to examine Cook’s (2003) ‘multiple competence’ by investigating backward pragmatic transfer (from L2 [English] to L1 [Persian]) in refusals to invitations. It explored participants’ frequency and content of refusal strategies in L1 regarding the status (i.e., power and distance) of interlocutors and the proficiency level of EFL learners. The participants were Persi...
