Peripheral collisions of highly charged ions with metal clusters

Abstract

Within the framework of the dynamical classical over-barrier model, the soft collisions between slow highly charged ions (SHCIs) Ar 17+ and the large copper clusters under large impact parameters have been studied in this paper. We present the dominant mechanism of the electron transfer between SHCIs and a large metal cluster by computational simulation. The evolution of the occupation of projectile ions, KL x satellite lines, X-ray yields, Auger electron spectrum and scattering angles are provided.

Multi-reference configuration-interaction calculations on multiply charged ions of carbon monosulfide

“…The growing research interests in multiply charged molecular ions are arising from their physicochemical properties and their important roles in the dynamical process in plasma, ionosphere chemistry, strong-field physics and astrophysics. [1][2][3][4][5][6] The characteristics of electronic states of ions such as bound or repulse along potential energy curves (PECs), positions of minima, the dissociation energies or barrier height for bound or quasibound states, the vertical and adiabatic ionization energies are of great importance for experimental and theoretical research.…”

Multireference calculations on low-lying states and the X3Πu−3Πgabsorption spectra of indium dimers

“…Metal [1][2][3][4] and non-metal [5][6][7] clusters have aroused much interest in theoretical computations and experiments. Compared with the group 3A metal dimmers B 2 , Al 2 , and Ga 2 , the indium dimer (In 2 ) has not been well characterized in previous investigations.…”
