X-Ray in Highly Charged Ar17+Ion Interacting with Mo Surface

The X-ray emission from the highly charged Ar¹⁷⁺ ion interacting with Mo surface are measured on the 14.5GHz Electron Cyclotron Resonance ion source facility at Institute of Modern, the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Lanzhou. Ar¹⁷⁺ ions came from Electron Cyclotron Resonance ion source and impacted on Mo surface.The incident ion with vacancy of inner shell captures electrons emitted from surface into highly excited Rydberg states, outer shell electron cascades into K vacancy giving rise to Kα X-ray emission of the incidentionsions.     

Observation of the Damage on HOPG Surface Induced by Ar+8 Ions

Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) samples were bombarded by Ar+8 ions with energy range from 10.1 to 112MeV. After bombardment the sample surfaces were observed using a STM and NanoScope. The resultS show that the energetic ion could cause observable praotrusionlike damage on the HOPG surface.The relationship betWeen damage and energy loss, and the possible mechanism of damage process are discussed.     

L-Shell X-Ray Production Cross Sections of Ta and Tm by Electron Impact near the Threshold Region

We present experimental measurements of L-shell production cross sections Lα, Lβ and Lγ for tantalum and thulium by electron impact at incident electron energies from about one to three times the threshold energy. From the experimental data, the total production cross section and mean ionization cross section are deduced. The influence of electrons reflected from the substrate is corrected by the electron transport bipartition model. Tile measured cross sections are compared with the theoretical predictions.     

Comparative analysis of purely classical and semiclassical approaches to collision line broadening of polyatomic molecules: II. C2H2-He case

The comparison of the classical method of Gordon and the semiclassical formalism of Robert and Bonamy was started in part I of this series of papers, dealing with the acetylene molecule perturbed by a heavy atom (Ar). The case of a light buffer gas (He) is considered in the present study. On the basis of a high-quality ab initio interaction potential, as previously, the influence of the roto-translational coupling on the trajectory parameters and its role in the line broadening at various temperatures are studied within the classical method. In addition, the line width contributions coming from the elastic (reorientation and dephasing) and inelastic collisions are separately analysed in the framework of both theoretical approaches. All these points confirm the previously stated conclusion that the roto-translational interactions play a non-negligible role in the collisional line broadening mechanisms. Also, a particular study in the framework of the classical approach enables some supplementary conclusions about the role of the perturber mass.     

Comparative analysis of purely classical and semiclassical approaches to collision line broadening of polyatomic molecules: I. C2H2-Ar case

Semiclassical approaches to the computation of spectral line parameters stay up to nowadays one of the working tools complementary to refined but costly quantum-mechanical methods. Using of the trajectory concept together with quantum treatment of internal molecular motions imposes however the hypothesis of rotation-translation decoupling and translational motion governed by the isotropic potential. When a posteori justified for small heavy colliders, this hypothesis appears as doubtful for long polyatomic molecules. At the same time, purely classical methods, even requiring the artificial procedure of the correspondence principle with quantum mechanics, easily take into account the rototranslational energy transfer through the trajectory governed by the full anisotropic potential. The infrared line broadening of a typically classical C₂H₂-Ar system at various temperatures is analyzed here from these two different points of view. When a refined ab initio potential is chosen to represent the interaction energy, the semiclassical approach leads to a visible overestimation of the line broadening for all values of the rotational quantum number and for all temperatures studied whereas the fully classical treatment gives a quite satisfactory prediction. These fully classical computations show that even for C₂H₂-Ar the rototranslational coupling is quite important, and variations of the translational motion parameters during collisions produce detectable changes in rotation. When, for the sake of a meaningful comparison with the semiclassical approach, the isotropic trajectories are imposed within the classical method, this leads to smaller line widths; the effect strongly depends, however, on the peculiarities of potential energy surface, temperature, and rotational quantum number value.     

Surface Erosion of GaN Bombarded by Highly Charged 208Pbq+-Ions

Surface change of gallium nitride specimens after bombardment by highly charged Pbq^＋-ions （q = 25, 35） at room temperature is studied by means of atomic force microscopy. The experimental results reveal that the surface of GaN specimens is significantly etched and erased. An unambiguous step-up is observed. The erosion depth not only strongly depends on the charge state of ions, but also is related to the incident angle of Pbq^＋-ions and the ion dose. The erosion depth of the specimens in 60° incidence （tilted incidence） is significantly deeper than that of the normal incidence. The erosion behaviour of specimens has little dependence on the kinetic energy of ion （Ek = 360, 700 keV）. On the other hand, surface roughness of the irradiated area is obviously decreased due to erosion compared with the un-irradiated area. A fiat terrace is formed.     

Ab Initio Calculations of Differential Cross Sections for Single Charge Transfer in ^3He^2＋ ＋ ^4He Collisions

The single charge transfer process in ^3He^2＋ ＋ ^4He collisions is investigated using the quantum-mechanical molecular- orbital close-coupling method, in which the adiabatic potentials and radial couplings are calculated by using the ab initio multireference single- and double-excitation configuration interaction methods. The differential cross sections for the single charge transfer are presented at the laboratorial energies E = 6 keV and lOkeV for the projectile ^3He^2＋. Comparison with the existing data shows that the present results are better in agreement with the experimental measurements than other calculations in the dominant small angle scattering, which is attributed to the accurate calculations of the adiabatic potentials and the radial couplings.     

Fusion Reaction of ^16O＋^14N and Its Implication for the Production of ^26Al in Explosive Oxygen Burning

We suggest that the fusion reaction ^16O＋^14N may be a new way to produce ^26Al in interstellar medium. Adopting different mixing modes, we investigate the impact on the production of ^26Al in explosive oxygen burning and find that the result is extremely sensitive to mixing mechanisms. In some cases, we obtain an encouraging result, for example, the greatest final abundance of ^26Al reaches 7.779×10^-6, which means that the explosive oxygen burning may be a new origin of ^26 Al.     

Relativistic Distorted-Wave Calculations of Electron Impact Excitation Cross Sections of Be-Like C2＋ Ions

A fully relativistic distorted-wave program is developed based on the Grasp92 and Ratip packages to calculate electron impact excitation （EIE） cross sections. As a first application of the program, the EIE cross sections of Be-like C^α＋ ions from the metastable 1s^22s2p^3 p to 1s^22p^2 ^3 p excitation and the inner-shell excitations are calculated systematically. Meanwhile, the correlation effects of target states are discussed. It is found that the correlation effects play an important role in the low energy EIE cross sections. An excellent agreement is found when the results are compared with previous calculations and recent measurements.     

Rotational and Vibrational State Distributions of CsH and Relative Reactivity in Reactions of Cs（6^2D,7^2D） with H2

By using a pump-probe technique, the nascent rotational and vibrational state distributions of CsH are obtained in the Cs（6^2 D,7^2 D） plus H2 reaction. The nascent CsH molecules are found to populate the lowest two vibrational （v″ = 0 and 1） levels of the ground electronic state. By comparing the spectral intensities of the CsH action spectra with those of pertinent Cs atomic fluorescence excitation spectra, the relative reactivity with 1-12 is in an order of6^2D3/2 〉 6^2D5/2 〉 7^2D3/2 〉 7^2D5/2. The rotational temperatures are found to be slightly below the cell temperature. The relative fractions （〈fV〉, 〈fR〉, 〈fT〉） of average energy disposal are derived as （0.2,0.12,0.68）, （0.2,0.12,0.68）, （0.07,0.04,0.89） and （0.07,0.04,0.89） for the 6^2D3/2, 6^2D5/2, 7^2D3/2 and 7^2D5/2, respectively. The major available energy is released as translation. These results support that the reaction mechanism of Cs（6^2 D,7^2 D） plus 112 is primarily a eollinear abstraction and not an insertion.     

A Theoretical Study of Photoabsorption Cross Sections of Na^＋ 2

In the framework of quantum defect theory, we calculate photoabsorption cross sections of Na^＋ 2. Based on our calculations, there is an absorption window in the photoabsorption cross sections of Na^＋ 2. and more than one bump above the absorption window. The calculated photoabsorption cross sections provide an explanation for the abnormal bump in the experimental measurements of Hudson, which is a long-standing experimental puzzle.     

平行玻璃板对105 keV Ar7+离子的导向效应

研究了平行玻璃板对高流强（约80 nA）105 keV Ar7+离子的导向效应, 利用一维位置灵敏探测器测量了不同倾斜角下出射离子的强度及角分布。 实验结果表明, 平行玻璃板对Ar7+离子有导向作用。 与离子在微孔膜中的导向效应不同, 从平行玻璃板出射的Ar离子角分布的FWHM随着倾斜角的改变而改变, 并且出射离子角分布最大值处对应的观察角不等于倾斜角。 The transmission of 105 keV Ar7+ ions with high incident current (about 80 nA) through the gap formed by a paired parallel glass plates was investigated. The intensity and angular distribution of the transmitted ions for various tilt angles were measured using a one dimensional position sensitive detector. The results indicate the existence of a guiding effect when Ar7+ ions pass through the gap, but it is different from that for ions passing through nonacapillaries. We found a measurable dependence of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the transmitted ions as a function of the tilt angle. In addition, when the gap was tilted with respect to the direction of the incident beam, the observation angle related to the center of the transmitted ions profile was not equal to the tilt angle.     

Ionization and Charge Transfer of Atomic Hydrogen by Highly Charged Ions

Cross sections for charge transfer and ionization of atomic hydrogen by highly charged ions A^q＋ （q =6 9） are evaluated using a simple and classical method based on the previous works by Bohr and Lindhard [K. Dan. Vidensk. Selsk. Mat. Fys. Medd 28 （1954） No 7], Brandt [Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. 214 （1983） 93] and Ben-Itzhak et al. [J. Phys. B： At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 26 （1993） 1711]. It is proved that the present calculations are feasible to some extent in comparison with available experimental data and quantum calculations.     

Observation of Nano-Dots on HOPG Surface Induced by Highly Charged Arq+ Impact

Highly charged ions （HCIs） have huge potential energy due to their high charge state. When a HCI reaches a solid surface, its potential energy is released immediately on the surface to cause a nano-scale defect. Thus, HCIs are expected to be useful for solid-surface modifications on the nano-scale. We investigate the defects on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite （HOPG） surface induced by slow highly charged Ar^q＋ ions with impact energy of 20-2000qeV with scanning probe microscopy （SPM）. In order to clarify the role of kinetic and potential energies in surface modification, the nano-defects are characterized in lateral size and height corresponding to the kinetic energy and charge state of the HCIs. Both the potential energy and kinetic energy of the ions may influence the size of nano-defect. Since potential energy increases dramatically with increasing charge state, the potential energy effect is expected to be much larger than the kinetic energy effect in the case of extremely high charge states. This implies that pure surface modification on the nano-scale could be carried out by slow highly charged ions. The mean size of nano-defect region could also be controlled by selecting the charge state and kinetic energy of HCI.     

Luminescence Spectra of YGG：RE^3＋, Bi^3＋ （RE = Eu and Tb） and Energy Transfer from Bi^3＋ to RE^3＋

We investigate the luminescence properties of Bi^3＋ and RE^3＋ （RE = Tb or Eu） in a Y3Ga5O12 （YGG） host system. The additional doping of Bi^3＋ can enhance the luminescence of Th^3＋ or Eu^3＋ in this host. Energy transfer from Bi^3＋ to Tb^3＋ and Eu^3＋ is observed and the mechanism of energy transfer is investigated. Mechanism of energy transfer can be explained as electric multipole interaction since the Bi^3＋ emission band and Tb^3＋ or Eu^3＋ excitation band overlaps and the Bi^3＋ emission intensity decreases while the intensity of Tb^3＋ or Eu^3＋ increases with the increase of Tb^3＋ or Eu^3＋ concentration. Therefore, Bi^3＋ ion is a kind of efficient sensitizer to the Tb^3＋ and Eu^3＋ activators in the Y3Ga5O12 host.     

Luminescence and Energy Transfer of Eu^2＋, Mn^2＋ in SrZnP2O7

The SrZnP2OT：Eu^2＋, Mn^2＋ phosphor is synthesized by high temperature solid state reaction. The luminescence properties and the energy transfer between Eu^2＋ and Mn^2＋ are investigated. The emission bands of this phosphor peaked at 42Ohm and 67Ohm are originated from the 5d → 4f transition of Eu^2＋ and from the 4T1 （4G） --〉 6A1 （6S） transit/on of Mn^2＋, respectively. With the increasing Mn^2＋ concentration, the intensity of fixed concentra- tion Eu^2＋ decreases and the intensity of Mn^2＋ also increases. It is suggested that there is an energy transfer from Eu^2＋ to Mn^2＋ in SrZnP2O7 host. According to Dexter＇s energy transfer formula of multipolar interaction, the energy transfer between Eu^2＋ and Mn^2＋ is due to the electric dipole-quadrupole interaction of the resonance transfer.     

Guiding of 60keV O6+ Ions through Nanocapillaries in an Uncoated Al2O3 Membrane

We measure the transmission of O^6＋ ions with a higher energy of 60 keV （in turn a higher value of Ep/q） through capillaries in an uncoated AI2 03 membrane, and obtain agreements with previously reported results in general angular distribution of the transmitted ions and the transmission profile width variation with capillary tilt angle. The transmission fractions as a function of the tilt angle can be fitted to the semi-empirical Gaussian-like function well. Due to using uncoated capillary membrane, our ψc is larger than that using gold-coated one, in spite of our larger value of Ep/q, which suggests a larger equilibrium charge Q∞ in our experiment.     

Controlled Evolution of Silicon Nanocone Arrays Induced by Ar+ Sputtering at Room Temperature

Controlled evolution of silicon nanocone arrays induced by Ar^＋ sputtering at room temperature, using the coating carbon as a mask, is demonstrated. The investigation of scanning electron microscopy indicates that the morphology of silicon nanostructures can be controlled by adjusting the thickness of the coating carbon film. Increasing the thickness of the coating carbon film from 50-60 nm, 250-300 nm and 750-800 nm to 1500 nm, the morphologies of silicon nanostructures are transformed from smooth surface ripple, coarse surface ripple and surface ripple with densely distributed nanocones to nanocone arrays with a high density of about 1 × 10^9- 2 × 10^9 cm^-2.     

2 MeV/amu裸碳离子碰撞氦离子单电离的全微分截面的结构(英文)

用修饰的库仑波(MCB)模型计算入射能量2 MeV/amu裸碳离子碰撞氦单电离的全微分截面,并将计算结果与相应的实验数据和其他理论结果进行比较,发现MCB理论在较小的电离电子能量和较大的动量转移条件下与实验结果符合得很好,在动量转移比较小时MCB理论结果binary峰的位置向大角方向发生了偏移。MCB理论和3CW(三体库仑波)理论相似,他们都比3DW-EIS(三体扭曲波程函初态近似)理论符合的好,说明了在微扰势中被动离子与入射粒子的相互作用是不可忽略的。与3CW理论相比,MCB模型在初态波函数和相互作用势中加入扭曲效应,比较发现扭曲效应会影响全微分截面的大小,但影响不是很明显。The modified coulomb born (MCB) model is applied to study the single ionization of helium by 2 MeV/amu C6+ ion. The fully differential cross sections are presented for a variety of momentum transfers and ejected-electron energies in the scattering plane. The MCB results are compared with the experimental data and other theoretical predictions. We find that the MCB results are similar to the 3CW (three-body coulomb wave) results and they are superior to the 3DW-EIS (three-body distorted wave-eikonal initial state) results. It turns out that the treatment of the passive electron is very important for the results and distorting effects are not obvious.
