Abstract:We report on electron emission and defect formation in the interaction between slow (v≈0.3 v Bohr ) highly charged ions (SHCI) with insulating (type IIa) and semiconducting (type IIb) diamonds. Electron emission induced by 31 P q+ (q=5 to 13), and 136 Xe q+ (q=34 to 44) with kinetic energies of 9 kV×q increase linearly with the ion charge states, reaching over 100 electrons per ion for high xenon charge states without surface passivation of the diamond with hydrogen. Yields from both diamond types are up to a … Show more
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.
