WHEN a stream of electrons is passed through a monatomic gas, negative ions are supposed to be formed by direct electron attachment to atoms of the gas with radiation of the excess energy. When the ...

Electron affinity, defined as the energy released when an electron attaches to a neutral atom, is a fundamental parameter in understanding atomic reactivity and material properties. Negative ion ...

The Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) is a method for increasing the plasma temperature and driving currents in magnetically-confined fusion plasmas by injecting neutral hydrogen/deuterium beams. As the ...

Researchers have achieved real-time capture of the ionization process and subsequent structural changes in gas-phase molecules through an enhanced mega-electronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV ...

Utilizing Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) for in-line metrology is a newly emerging method of process control that requires contamination-free measurements, enabling SIMS on product wafers.
