Surface channeling of swift light ions

A fast computer code is developed to provide information about the trajectories of swift light particles incident on crystalline targets under surface channeling conditions. The approximations used in the model are tested by comparison of trajectory calculations with the MARLOWE simulation program. The simulation of experimental energy distributions allows discussing various inelastic energy loss models for the interaction of 150 keV protons with a nickel surface. The results suggest that plasmon excitations are not sufficient to account for the measured energy losses. It is found that the Oen-Robinson formula, including inelastic energy losses by single electron excitations in dense materials reasonably well applies to the reflection of light ions from metallic surfaces in channeling conditions. The measured light intensity emitted from 200 keV He⁺ reflected ions in various directions close to compact atomic surface rows is compared with the calculated reflection coefficient. The results suggest that most of the particles reflected in ionic state do not penetrate the target surface. Detailed comparison between light emission measurements and calculated reflection intensities, however, requires accurate modelling of the surface topography as well as of the deexcitation mechanisms involved in the surface reflection of light ions.     

Transmission of 3 keV Ne7+ ions through nanocapillaries etched in polymer foils: evidence for capillary guiding

We report unprecedented transmission experiments of 3 keV Ne7+ ions through capillaries of 100 nm diameter and 10 microm length produced by etching ion tracks in a polymer foil. We studied foils tilted up to +/-20 degrees for which the incident ions are forced to interact with the capillary surface. Surprisingly, the majority of Ne7+ ions were found to survive the surface scattering events in their initial charge state. The angular distributions of the transmitted particles indicate propagation of the Ne7+ ions along the capillary axis. This capillary guiding of the Ne7+ ion provides evidence that the inner walls of the capillaries become charged and electron capture from the surface is suppressed in a self-organizing process.     

Low-energy ion-induced electron emission from a MgO(100) thin film: the role of the MgO-substrate interface

We present a detailed study of the electron emission from a thin MgO(100) film on a Mo substrate, bombarded with slow He+, Ne+, and Ar+ ions. Neither the high absolute number of emitted electrons per incoming ion nor the electron spectra can be due to Auger neutralization of the incoming ions at the MgO surface alone. Therefore, an additional mechanism is proposed: holes created in the MgO film are transported to the MgO-substrate interface where they give rise to an Auger neutralization process involving two electrons from the metal substrate conduction band.

Probing electronic states of Ne2+ and Ar2+ by measuring kinetic-energy-release distributions

Dissociative decay of metastable, electronically excited neon and argon dimer ions produces fragment ions with strikingly dissimilar kinetic-energy-release distributions. The distributions have been modeled based on ab initio calculations of potential energy curves. The unusual bimodal distribution observed for dissociation of Ne2+ arises from competition between radiative and nonradiative decay of the long-lived II(1/2)(u) state. For Ar2+, however, electronic predissociation is insignificant.     

Ion beam mixing of Pt marker layers in Al

We have studied the ion beam mixing of Pt marker layers which were 1 nm thick and buried 55 nm deep in Al. The samples were irradiated with Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Pb ions with ion energies ranging from 75 to 600 keV and damage energy densities from 0.17 to 2.0 keV/nm. The depth distributions of both the implanted ions and the marker atoms were measured with Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. The experimental mixing efficiency of = 0.856(24) nm⁵/keV is about ten times as high as was to be expected from the ballistic model and the local spike models. We suggest a connection between this unexpectedly high mixing efficiency and the vanishing primary solid solubility of the marker element in the host matrix.

Correlated multielectron dynamics in ultrafast laser pulse interactions with atoms

We present the results of the detailed experimental study of multiple ionization of Ne and Ar by 25 and 7 fs laser pulses. Whereas in multiple ionization of Ar different mechanisms, involving field ionization steps and recollision-induced excitations, play a role, for Ne only one channel, where the highly correlated instantaneous emission of up to four electrons is triggered by a recollisional electron impact, is found to be important. Using few-cycle pulses we are able to suppress those processes that occur on time scales longer than one laser cycle.     

Electron bihole complex formation in neutralization of Ne+ on LiF(001).

Neutralization of low keV Ne+ ions at a LiF(001) surface is studied in a grazing incidence geometry. The combination of energy loss and electron spectroscopy in coincidence reveals two neutralization channels of comparable importance. Besides the Auger process, the Ne+ neutralization can proceed via peculiar target excitation, corresponding to the formation of an electron bihole complex termed trion.

Energy distributions of ions produced by electron-stimulated desorption

We have measured the initial kinetic energy distributions of ions produced by electron bombardment of various oxides and halides. The instrument used allows ions directly ejected from the sample surface to be distinguished from ions formed by electron impact in the gas phase. Singly and multiply charged positive ions of species present in the matrix as anions and cations were desorbed by high energy ( 11 keV) electron impact. Directly desorbed positive halogen ions show a narrow, low energy peak, consistent with conventional models of electron stimulated desorption (ESD). In addition, some of the cation species exhibited similar narrow energy spectra. Charge states up to +6 were observed for the halides; with the exception of F²⁺ and Cl²⁺, multiple charge states were due to electron impact ionization of desorbed neutrals. Charge states up to +4 were seen for silicon from electron-bombarded SiO₂; energy distributions of Si⁺, Si²⁺ and Si³⁺ showed that these species were desorbed directly from the surface. The energy distributions of O⁺ and O²⁺ ions ejected from SiO₂ are relatively wide, compared to the energy distribution of Si⁺ ions. In contrast, O⁺ ions ejected from TiO₂ have a much narrower energy distribution, like those observed for the halogen ions.

The count ratios R of the neutralized atoms of final state to projectiles Li -and Na -in collision with He, Ne and Ar are measured in the energy range of 3-19 keV. It is found that the count ratios R increase slowly with the collision energy in whole experimental energy range for He, Ne and Ar. For Li -→He, Ne, Ar Collisions, R(He)≈R(Ar)>R(Ne), and for Na -→He, Ne, Ar Collisions, R(He)>R(Ar)> R(Ne).     

Ar+ excited aluminium Auger electron emission from Cu-Al alloys

The aluminium Auger electron emission from Cu-Al alloys in solid solution bombarded with 2–16 keV Ar⁺ ions is studied as a function of the Al concentration. A linear law is observed for the intensity of the high energy Auger peak at 76 eV which originates only from the primary asymmetric collisions Ar → Al where two vacancies are created in the 2p level of the Al atom. On the contrary, a parabolic law is found for the intensity of the principal Auger peak at 63.5 eV (one Al 2p vacancy) which originates from the asymmetric collisions Ar → Al and from the symmetric collisions Al → Al together. The proportion of asymmetric collisions among collisions effective for the principal Auger emission from pure aluminium can be deduced from these results. It appears as an increasing function of the bombardment energy: its value is nearly equal to 6% at 10 keV and 18% at 15 keV.     

低于再碰撞阈值下强激光场原子非序列双电离

在最近的实验和理论研究中,我们探讨了氩原子和氖原子在红外强激光场中低于再碰撞阈值的非序列双电离问题。在研究中,我们发现在非序列双电离过程中,氖原子的电子关联表现为在激光偏振面内肩并肩出射,而对于氩原子的电子关联行为表现为在激光偏振面内的背对背出射,我们采用三维半经典模型（考虑电子隧道电离）很好地解释了实验结果。在阈值附近,我们发现电子在激光场中的多次散射以及电子再碰撞激发后电子隧道电离是氩原子反关联行为的主要原因,而电子在激光场作用下的单次碰撞是电子关联行为的主要原因。通过测量双电离过程中产生电子的横向电子动量分布,观察到了库伦聚焦效应,我们认为这是非经典的关联行为。最后,我们给出了氩原子和氖原子在激光场中阈值的解析模型,并给出了原子的关联和反关联激光强度区域.     

Energy transfer from fast atomic projectiles to a crystal lattice under channeling conditions

Neutral Ne atoms with keV energies are scattered under channeling conditions, i.e., at a glancing angle of incidence, from a LiF(001) surface. By means of a time-of-flight method with a pulsed neutral beam, energy distributions for scattered projectiles are obtained. We find for this specific system that the small energy transferred to the crystal lattice during channeling via binary collisions with large impact parameters dominates the dissipation of projectile energy, whereas all other excitations of the solid can be brought to a negligible level.     

Distribution angulaire des électrons secondaires émis par des monocristaux de cuivre sous bombardement ionique

Energy angular distributions of the secondary electronic emission from copper single crystals bombarded by 40 keV Ar⁺ ions are studied. These distributions, recorded as a function of the reception azimuth angle, with fixed polar angle, show an anisotropy which is both characteristic of the target cristalline structure and of the collected electron energy. We interpret these result in terms of bulk electron diffraction.

High energy excitations in ion-induced electron emission from AlF3

Measurements of electron emission spectra from surfaces of aluminum fluoride impacted by keV noble gas ions show a high-energy structure, peaking around 7 eV that increases in intensity with ion energy. The shape of this structure, identified by Factor Analysis, is independent of the nature and the energy of the impinging ions. We discuss one electron, two electron and plasmon excitation mechanisms and conclude that the high-energy structure results from the autoionization of F^? 2p⁴nl n′l′ excited by electron promotion in close atomic collisions.
