-Total chemi-ionization cross-sections have been measured over the 15 to 1 500 eV energy interval for collisions of He 2 1S and 2 3S metastable atoms with Ne, H2, N2, O2 and CO, using a slow ion measurement technique. With molecular targets these measurements have shown a strong energy dependence for the total ionization cross-section without dissociation. In the case of dissociative ionization an energy threshold appears, dependent on the energy defect of the reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
