Because of the importance of isocyanic acid, HNCO, in terrestrial environments 1,2,3 and the interstellar medium 4, spectra of this molecule and its singly charged ion HNCO + have been widely studied ...

Researchers have for the first time measured the first ionization energy of lawrencium, the last of the actinides, validating predictions of the element’s electronic structure (Nature 2015, DOI: ...

(Phys.org)—Atoms have been thoroughly researched, but they are still good for a surprise. Researchers of the Max Planck Advanced Study Group (ASG) at the Hamburg Center for Free-Electron Laser Science ...

The dissociative double ionization of sulphur hexafluoride, SF 6, in the ionization energy range from threshold up to 48.4 eV has been examined in detail using a multiple coincidence electron-ion ...

Light interacting with hydrogen atoms enclosed in hollow cages composed of carbon atoms produces ionization. This phenomenon is particularly interesting because the light rays can have dramatic ...

In a new study published in EPJ D, researchers have clearly identified particular areas where discrepancies arise between theoretical and experimental measurements of helium ionization by an impacting ...

Scientists use European XFEL's fast X-ray pulses for doubly resonant ionisation of krypton. (Nanowerk News) Speed matters. When an X-ray photon excites an atom or ion, making a core electron jump onto ...

Energy is transferred to the absorber during the ionisation process. For a given thickness of absorber, alpha radiation produces most ionisation, beta next and gamma least. Safety precautions are ...

Six critical steps are involved in the manufacturing of semiconductors. These steps include deposition, photoresist, lithography, etch, ionization and packaging. This article discusses several ...
