L-Shell X-Ray Production Cross Sections of Au and Ir Atoms by Electron Impact near the Threshold Region

L-shell production cross sections Lα, Lβ and Lγ for Au and Ir atoms have been measured by electron impact at incident electron energies of about one to three times of the threshold energy. The total production cross section and mean ionization cross section were obtained from the experimental results and by using mean fluorescence yield, respectively. The influence of electrons reflected from the substrate and multiple electron scattering inside the target have been corrected. The experimental results are compared with the existing measured results and the theoretical predictions.     

高离化态Au离子光电离过程的理论研究

基于多组态Dirac-Fock方法的程序包GRASP92和RATIP及在此基础上最新发展的RELPHOTO08程序, 系统地研究了高离化态金离子M壳层的光电离截面随入射光子能量、 离化度以及壳层的变化规律。结果表明: 光电离截面随光子能量的增大而单调减小; 电离nl电子时, 如果相关电子的主量子数较大, 则该电子存在与否对其光电离截面几乎没有影响; 在同一离化度下, 角量子数l可引起两种性质不同的效应, 其相互竞争可导致光电离截面随入射光子能量的复杂变化。Based on multiconfiguration Dirac Fock method and the corresponding packages GRASP92 and RATIP, as well as the newly developed RELPHOTO08, the variations of M subshell photoionization cross sections with the photon energy, ionization degree and subshells for highly charged gold ions are studied systemically. The present results show that the cross sections are decreasing monotonously with the photon energy; for the photoionization of nl electrons, if the principal quantum number of removed electron is large enough, the cross sections are essentially unchanged upon the presence or absence of outer electrons; for same ionization degree, the angular quantum number introduces two opposite effects which could exist simultaneously, and the intricate variations of cross sections with the photon energy originate from the competition between these two different effects.

在Monte Carlo方法模拟keV电子碰撞薄膜／厚衬底靶过程中,输入材料数据中采用的内壳层电离截面数据不同,得到的反映膜厚及村底对电离截面测量结果影响的修正因子值也有差别。讨论了Monte Carlo模拟得到的修正因子值受输入材料数据中内壳层电离截面影响的程度,并完成了入射keV电子在法拉第筒中逃逸率的估算工作。 The sensitivity of the correction factor, which describes the combined effect of finite film thickness and the thick substrate in the measurement of atomic inner-shell ionization cross-sections by low-energy electron impact, to the adopted ionization cross-sections in the Monte Carlo simulation is discussed. Moreover, the electron escape ratio from the Faraday cup in our experiment is also obtained by Monte Carlo method.     

Interference effects on the photoionization cross sections between two neighbouring atoms: nitrogen as an example

Interference effects on the photoionization cross sections between two neighbouring atoms are considered based on the coherent scattering of the ionized electrons by the two nuclei when their separation is less than or comparable to the de Broglie wave length of the ionized electrons. As an example, the single atomic nitrogen ionization cross section and the total cross sections of two nitrogen atoms with coherently added photoionization amplitudes are calculated from the threshold to about 60~\AA (1~\AA=0.1~nm) of the photon energy. The photoionization cross sections of atomic nitrogen are obtained by using the close-coupling R-matrix method. In the calculation 19 states are included. The ionization energy of the atomic nitrogen and the photoionization cross sections agree well with the experimental results. Based on the R-matrix results of atomic nitrogen, the interference effects between two neighbouring nitrogen atoms are obtained. It is shown that the interference effects are considerable when electrons are ionized just above the threshold, even for the separations between the two atoms are larger than two times of the bond length of N₂ molecules. Therefore, in hot and dense samples, effects caused by the coherent interference between the neighbours are expected to be observable for the total photoionization cross sections.     

MEASUREMENT OF L-SHELL IONIZATION CROSS SECTIONS FOR NIOBIUM BY ELECTRON IMPACT

L-shell ionization cross sections of Nb by electron impact in the energy range from 3 to 40 keV have been determined with a Si(Li) X-ray detector.

L-SHELL IONIZATION MEASUREMENT OF TUNGSTEN BY ELECTRON IMPACT

L-shell partial production cross sections of L_α^-, L_β^-, L_γ^- rays by electron impact were measured by observing the counts of X-ray from impacted thin tungsten target. Total production cross sections and mean ionization cross sections were deduced from these measured results. The electron beam energy range was from 11 to 36 keV. Tungsten was sputtered onto a carbon backing to reduce bremsstrahlung of the backing. The effect of electrons reflected by the backing has been corrected. Comparison with two theoretical calculations has performed. The experimental results agree rather well with the theoretical predications.     

Ionization for Hf- and W-L-shell by electron impact

Electron-induced Hf-, W-L-shell partial, total production cross sections, mean ionization cross sections and Hf-L_3-shell ionization cross sections (at two energies) have been measured as functions of electron energies (from near threshold to 36keV). The influence of electrons reflected from the backing of the thin targets on measured results was corrected using a model to relate to the electron transport process. The mean paths of electron multi-scattered in the target itself (including forward and backward scattering) were calculated by means of Monte Carlo program (EGS4) and they were used to correct measured results. A comparison with both theoretical predictions was given.

Four-body treatment of the K-shell positronium formation from multi-electron atoms

The four-body Coulomb-Born distorted-wave approximation with correct boundary conditions (CBDW-4B) is applied to the K-shell positronium formation from multi-electron atoms at intermediate and high impact energies. In the present approach, both K-shell electrons are treated as active electrons. For collisions of positrons with helium, carbon, and neon atoms, both the post and prior forms of the transition amplitude are calculated and the corresponding differential and integral cross sections are compared with the results of the three-body version of the formalism (CBDW-3B). In order to investigate the effects of the static electronic correlations on the process, initial bound states of the active electrons in helium atoms are described by Hylleraas and Silverman wave functions. Also for positronium formation from helium atoms the obtained cross sections are compared with the available experimental data and also with the results of the other theories.     

Cross sections for K-shell ionization of Si and Ar by 4 keV to 10 keV electron impact

K-Auger electron emission of Si and Ar produced by 4 keV to 10 keV electrons was measured. Absolute yields were obtained by normalizing to the elastically scattered primary electrons. From the yields cross sections for K-shell ionization were deduced. The cross sections are in good agreement with the results of a fit formula for K-shell excitation in the whole range measured, while they agree with results of PWBA calculations including electron exchange in the Ochkur approximation only for the higher impact energies.     

K-shell ionization of atoms and ions by relativistic projectiles

We evaluate the total cross section for the single K-shell ionization of atoms and ions by the impact of relativistic electrons. The study is performed to leading orders of the QED perturbation theory with respect to the parameters αZ and 1/Z. The results obtained are in good agreement with experimental data for different atomic targets. In the case of moderate values of the nuclear charge Z, the total cross section is described by a simple analytic formula. The K-shell ionization by relativistic heavy particles is also considered.     

Electronic relativistic effect on the ratios of deuteron to alpha-particle induced K-shell ionization cross sections

The ratios of the K-shell ionization cross sections induced by deuterons to those induced by α-particles with the same velocities have been calculated in the plane wave Born approximation using relativistic hydrogenic wave functions for the target electrons. The numerical results are compared with the recent experimental valus of Chang et al. The use of relativistic wave functios considerably improves the agreement with the experimental data.

Roothan-Hartree-Fock velocity distribution for the target electrons has been used in the present work. The calculated cross-sections have been compared with experimental results and other theoretical calculations wherever available. The present calculations give a good account of experimental observations.
