电子束引起的残余含氧气体在镍(001)面上的吸附

当一束具有一定能量和强度的电子束轰击超高真空系统中残余的水汽、一氧化碳和二氧化碳时,将导致这些气体分子通过如下反应:H₂O→O_ad+H₂,CO₂→O_ad+CO,CO→O_ad+C_ad分解并共吸于镍表面。碳和氧的原子各自占据镍(001)面部份四重吸附位置,形成结构为p(2×2)或c(2×2)的许多独立的吸附畴,电子束轰击促进畴的成核、长大、连结和有序化。当氧和碳的原子占据了镍(001)面约一半的四重吸附位后,上述吸附反应将与导致氧和碳的脱附反应:C^*+O_ad→CO,O^*+C_ad→CO平衡,氧化镍与碳化镍开始成核。由于残余含氧气体中氧的含量超过碳,氧化镍成核占优势,使碳的吸附被排斥,已吸附的碳被排挤,形成电子束斑内氧高碳低、束斑外碳高氧低的“互补”分布。电子束轰击过程中碳的俄歇峰形的变化反映着碳原子与基底原子的不同结合状态。电子束的解离效应在吸附的初始阶段起重要作用,而其热效应对氧化镍的长大起重要作用。 关键词：     

Relative Anfangsbesetzungszahlen der Zustände 2p und 3d folienangeregter Wasserstoffatome

The Lyman-α radiation of fast moving hydrogen atoms excited by a thin carbon foil is measured using a channel electron multiplier with a Mg F₂ filter. The photonintensity-versus-distance curve exhibits the 2p (1.596 ns) decay followed by a cascade tail originating mainly from the 3d level (15.47 ns). The data is analyzed by a computer program using the known mean lives of the 2p, 3d, and 3s states and yields the relative initial state populationY=N _2p ⁰ N _{3 d} ⁰ which depends on the kind of incident ions (H⁺ or H₂ ⁺). For H₂ ⁺ ions, excited with a single foil, there might be a slight dependence ofY on the beam velocity, but for H⁺ ions incident on the foil, no such dependence is found.     

Polarization effects in ionizing thermal energy collisions of laser-excited Ne(3p 3 D 3) atoms with Ar atoms

Using transverse and longitudinal excitation of a collimated metastable Ne(3s ³ P _2.0) beam with average velocities of 500, 800, and 1,200 m/s by means of a single mode dye laser on the²⁰Ne(3s ³ P ₂→3p ³ D ₃) transition, we have investigated ionizing collisions of polarized Ne(3s ³ P ₂) and Ne(3p ³ D ₃) atoms with Ar atoms. The product electrons were energy analyzed with high resolution (9–25 meV). The resulting Ne(3p ³ D ₃) electron spectra exhibit a strong dependence on the three types of laser polarization (π _∥,π_⊥, σ_?), chosen to prepare the excited atoms. In contrast, the Ne(3s ³ P ₂) spectra are only weakly dependent on polarization. Detailed model calculations have been carried out for the Ne(3p)+Ar cross sections, using computed excited-state potential curves, semi-empirical ionic potentials, and local autoionization width functions. A semiclassical closecoupling method is applied to describe the evolution of the polarized collision system in the coupled entrance channels. It is found that a single autoionization widthΓ(R) is not sufficient to describe the measured polarization effects properly. The dependence ofΓ on the initial and final state is expressed in terms of few reduced electronic transition matrix elements, which are determined by comparison of measured and calculated total cross sections and Ar⁺(² P _3/2)/Ar⁺(² P _1/2) branching ratios for ionizing collisions of the various Ne(3pJ=1,2,3) multiplet states with Ar. The matrix elements corresponding to Ar(3pσ)→Ne(2pσ) electron transfer during autoionization are found to dominate, but Ar(3pπ)→Ne(2pπ) transfer has also to be included. The resulting calculated electron spectra reproduce the measured polarization effects in a semi-quantitative way.     

Interaction of trapped metastable excited He atoms with solid noble gases,Ne, Ar and Kr,investigated by EPR

Local metastable excited states are found in Ne, Ar and Kr cryocrystals as He gas-discharge products are trapped in the growing cryocrystals. These states are detected by EPR and are interpreted as being local metastable excitednp⁵(n+1)s³P₂ atomic-type states in Ne, Ar and Kr cryocrystals. Analysis of the results allows the following explanation of the observed effect to be given. For the Ne cryocrystal the effect is interpreted as a new phenomenon: quasi-resonance transfer of excitation energy from the metastable He 2³S₁ atom trapped in a growing neon cryocrystal to the exciton energy band of the neon crystal followed by the exciton self-trapping into the 2p⁵3p state and subsequent decay, ending in the 2p⁵3s³P₂ state recorded by EPR in our experiment. In the case of Ar and Kr cryocrystals the effect is explained as being due to an internal ionization of the cryocrystals by the excitation energy of trapped metastable He atoms, which implies the formation in the cryocrytal of a Rg⁺ ion and a free electron in the conduction band, whereupon the fast (of 10^?12 s) self-trapping reaction of a hole follows: Rg⁺+Rg→Rg ₂ ⁺ . Thereafter the dissociative recombination reaction Rg ₂ ⁺ +e→Rg ₂ ^** →Rg+Rg*(³P₂) could take place.     

Dissociation of CN+ into atomic excited states after acceleration in a tandem accelerator

A CN⁺ beam produced by stripping CN^- in the terminal of a Pelletron Tandem accelerator was dissociated in a thin carbon foil. Optical observations of ultraviolet transitions of C III–C IV and IV - N V showed intensity variations as a function of foil thickness. The results indicate an enhancement of population due to the neighboring partner projectile for some but not all excited states.     

Studies of neonL-shell excitation by impact of highly ionized heavy ions

Passage of foil-excited 1.4 MeV/A S and 1.1 MeV/A Cl ions of neon charge state ～ 12⁺ through neon gas targets at pressure ～100 mTorr has been found to be accompanied by copious production of Ne II–VIII excited states. Comparable excitation cross-sections ～10^?18 cm² are found for a large number of levels belonging to all of these charge states and corresponding to principal quantum numbersn=2, 3, 4. Vacancy distributions very similar to those found in beam-foil excitation of ～1MeV neon beams are found. Because the Ne recoil velocities are small compared to the fast beam velocities characteristic of the beam-foil source, it is possible to reduce both Doppler shifts and spreads by 3–4 order of magnitude for equivalent collimation. It has also been found that there is an excitation cross-section change of a factor ～5 for a corresponding projectile charge state change from 6⁺ to 12⁺, that efforts to classifyK x-ray satellite spectra byLshell vacancy labels (KL ⁰,KL ¹,...) are probably inaccurate due to extensive population ofn≧3 spectator levels, that both the recoil ion and beam-foil spectra exhibit few lines withn≧4, and that for the allowed transitions studied here, collisional excited states quenching effects due to the ～100mTorr target gas pressures used are negligible.     

Investigation of the 19Na nucleus via resonance elastic scattering

The structure of the unbound proton-rich isotope ¹⁹Na was studied in resonance elastic scattering of a radioactive ¹⁸Ne beam on a proton target using the thick-target inverse-kinematics method. The experiment covered the excitation energy range from 0.5 to 2.7 MeV in c.m.s. Only one state of ¹⁹Na (the second excited state) was observed. A combined R-matrix and potential model analysis was performed. The spin and parity assignment of this second excited state was confirmed to be 1/2⁺. We show that the position of the 1/2⁺ state significantly affects the reaction rate through that state, but the total reaction rate remains unchanged since the ¹⁸Ne(2p, γ) proceeds mostly via the ground and first excited states in ¹⁹Na at stellar temperatures. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Strong Enhancement of Electron–Ion Recombination Owing to Free–Bound and Bound–Bound Resonance Transitions

The effect of free–bound and bound–bound resonance nonadiabatic transitions of an electron on electron–ion recombination rates in the plasma of a Ne/Xe and Ar/Xe inert gas mixture has been studied. A kinetic model of recombination has been proposed including energy relaxation in collisions with electrons, resonant electron capture to Rydberg states through three-body collisions of Xe⁺ ions with Ne or Ar atoms and dissociative recombination of NeXe⁺ or ArXe⁺ ions, and n → n' resonance transitions. It has been shown that effective resonance processes occurring in quasimolecular systems sharply increase both the recombination coefficient and the effect of collisions with neutral particles even at quite high degrees of ionization of the plasma.     

Elektronenausbeute bei Lithium-Ionenbeschuß von Bildwandlerflächen

The electron yield in the case of bombardment of a V2A type stainless steel plate by Li⁺ ions with energies between 20 and 80 keV was measured. The yield is increasing from 2·5 electrons per ion for 20keV to 4 for 70 keV. The electron yield in case of transmission by Li⁺ ions (number of electrons emitted on the back side of the foil per incident ion) of thin carbon foils with a layer of evaporated silver was measured. For this purpose the electrons emitted on the foil back side are accelerated in an immersion objective lens, and the resulting crossover of the beam is focussed into a Faraday cage by a projector lens. The electron yield depends on the ion energy and the foil thickness. Its value lies between 1 for a 1050 AU thick silver foil and 40 keV and 4 for a 380 AU thick silver foil and 80 keV. The range of Li⁺ ions in silver can be estimated by extrapolation of the yield curves. It is increasing from 600 AU for 10 keV to 2300 AU for 80 keV. The electron yield may not be characteristic for the target material since in a vacuum of 10^?4Torr the formation of a thin layer of polymerized hydrocarbon on the surface must be expected.     

Kinetic ion-acoustic solitary waves in collisional plasmas

In this study, a bipolar high-voltage pulse with 20 ns rising time is employed to generate diffuse dielectric barrier discharge plasma using wire-plate electrode configuration in nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. The gas temperature of the plasma is determined by comparing the experimental and the best fitted optical emission spectra of the second positive bands of N₂(C³Π_u → B³ Π_g, 0-2) and the first negative bands of N₂ ⁺ (B² Σ_u ⁺ → X² Σ_g ⁺, 0-0). The effects of the concentration of argon and oxygen on the emission intensities of N₂ (C³Π_u → B³Π_g, 0-0, 337.1 nm), OH?(A ²Σ → X²Π, 0-0) and N₂ ⁺ (B² Σ_u ⁺ → X² Σ_g ⁺, 0-0, 391.4 nm) are investigated. It is shown that the plasma gas temperature keeps almost constant with the pulse repetition rate and pulse peak voltage increasing. The emission intensities of N₂ (C³Π_u → B³Π_g, 0-0, 337.1 nm), OH(A²Σ → X²Π, 0-0) and N₂ ⁺ (B² Σ_u ⁺ → X² Σ_g ⁺, 0-0, 391.4 nm) rise with increasing the concentration of argon, but decrease with increasing the concentration of oxygen, and the influences of oxygen concentration on the emission intensities of N₂(C³Π_u → B³Π_g, 0-0, 337.1 nm) and OH (A²Σ → X²Π, 0-0) are more greater than that on the emission intensity of N₂ ⁺ (B² Σ_u ⁺ → X² Σ_g ⁺, 0-0, 391.4 nm).     

Single-electron charge transfer in collisions of CF 2 ++ with Ar and Ne at collision energies 3–5 eV

Non-dissociative, single-electron charge transfer processes between the dication CF ₂ ⁺⁺ and Ar and Ne were investigated in crossed beam scattering experiments at collision energies of 3.0 and 4.55eV (c.m.). The reaction with Ar produces CF ₂ ⁺ in its ground state and, to a smaller extent, in the excited CF ₂ ⁺ (²_u) state. The reaction with Ne occurs only with an excited state of CF ₂ ⁺⁺ lying about 4.4 eV above the ground state and present in a small amount in the reactant dication beam; its molecular product is CF ₂ ⁺ in the ground state.     

Energy distribution of electrons ejected from a thin carbon foil by alpha particles and fission products

Secondary electron spectra up to 3.5 keV electron energy arising from the passage of alpha particles and²⁵²Cf fission products through a 2μg/cm² carbon foil are measured for a forward (42°) and a backward (138°) angle of emission. The forward spectra induced by alpha-particles are compared to binary encounter calculations and to a gas target spectrum. Systematic differences in the shapes of the alpha particle and the fission product induced spectra are discussed. Total yields and mean energies of the secondary electrons are derived from the spectra.     

Influence of Ar, Ne, Xe, and CCl4 impurities on luminescence kinetics of Cd II ions (5s22D5/2-5p2P3/2 transition, λ = 441.6 nm) in He-Cd mixture

The luminescence kinetics of the Cd II ion at a wavelength of 441.6 nm has been studied experi-mentally in a high-pressure He-Cd mixture in the presence of Ar, Ne, Xe, and CCl₄ impurities. Cadmium ions were excited through the bombardment of a cadmium foil heated up to 240°C by a pulsed electron beam with an electron energy of 150 keV, a pulse duration of 3 ns, and a current of 500 A. The constants of collisional quenching of the Cd II 5s ^{2 2} D _5/2 level by Ar, Ne, and Xe atoms and CCl₄ molecules and the integral luminescence quenching constants of this level in the helium medium by these impurity gases have been determined. The constants of collisional quenching appeared to be 8.1 × 10⁻¹² (Ar), 1.2 × 10⁻¹² (Xe), 1.5 × 10⁻¹³ (Ne), and 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ cm³/s (CCl₄, for λ = 325 nm), while the integral constants were found to be, respectively, 4.1 × 10⁻¹¹, 3.4 × 10⁻¹¹, 9.5 × 10⁻¹², 1.4 × 10⁻⁹ cm³/s for Ar, Ne, Xe, and CCl₄ at a buffer gas pressure of 1 atm.

Some anomalies in the Ne(I)(744/736 Å) photoelectron spectra of N2O

The Ne(I) 774/736 Å photoelectron spectra of N₂O are reported for the X?²Π state of N₂O⁺. The spectra in general do not show any autoionization behavior to the extent reported for CO₂ and CS₂. There is an apparent “enhancement” of the 101 level by the 744 Å line. In contrast to the He(I) 584 Å PES, the intensity ratio for the 100 and 001 levels are reversed when excited by Ne(I) 736 Å radiation.The spectra also show excitation to higher vibrational levels of N₂O⁺X²Π. This can be explained within the framework of autoionization of a Rydberg state whose core is similar to that of the B? state of N₂O⁺.

Ion bombardment of ordered Zr3Al

The behaviour of the ordered alloy Zr₃Al was investigated by transmission electron microscopy following ion bombardments at temperatures ranging from 30 to 850 K. Utilizing high energy(0.5–2.0 MeV) C⁺, N⁺ and Ar⁺ ion bombardments, observations were made of the irradiation-induced transformation from the ordered → disordered → amorphous states. Information about individual damage cascades was also obtained using both high energy (C⁺. N⁺ and Ar⁺) and low energy (15–120 keV Cu⁺) ion bombardments.     

Large electron polarization of H-like20Ne-ions traversing gd foils at very high velocities

It is shown that transient magnetic fields in Gd-host for²⁰Ne ions at a mean velocity of 12.5v₀(v₀=c/137), considerably beyond the Bohr velocity of 1s electrons of Ne ions (v_1s=10v₀), are dominated by the Fermi contact field of these electrons. The first excited 2⁺-state of²Ne was used as probe. The derived value for the mean degree of polarization p_1s=0.32(13), is surprisingly large, though still consistent with values obtained at lower velocities. Present calculations of spin exchange cross sections severely underestimate the observed polarization at this high velocity.The authors are grateful to the operating staff of the UNILAC for providing excellent beam conditions. They also thank Dr. P. Maier-Komor for preparing the delicate targets. Support by the BMFT is acknowledged.
