Charge-state distribution in close collisions of 3 MeV C 2+ ions with Ag and Au atoms
Abstract
The charge-state distributions of 3 MeV carbon ions scattered over angles of 40° and 60° from sub-monolayers of Ag and Au atoms evaporated on a substrate and from thick layers of Ag and Au have been measured. A close similarity of the charge distributions in all cases is interpreted as a consequence of achieving an equilibrium-like charge-state distribution in a single ion-atom collision.
