Abstract:
The transmissions of oxygen ions through Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$
nanocapillaries each 50~nm in diameter and 10~$\mu $m in length
at a series of different tilt angles are measured, where the ions
with energies ranging from 10 to 60~keV and charge states from 1 up
to 6 are involved. The angular distribution and the transmission
yields of transported ions are investigated. Our results indicate
both the existence of a guiding effect when ions pass through the
capillary and a significant dependence of the ion transmission on
the energy and the charge state of the ions. The guiding effects are
observed to be enhanced at lower projectile energies and higher
charge states. Meanwhile, the results also exhibit that the
transmission yields increase as the tilt angle decreases at a given
energy and charge state.
