LIGHT-EMISSION FROM A AG TARGET BOMBARDED BY MULTIPLY-CHARGED AR IONS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Light emitted by Ag atoms following the bombardment of a Ag target with Ar ions has been studied. Light yields that include contributions from both displaced surface and sputtered atoms have been obtained as a function of incident ion beam kinetic energy and with different Ar ion charge states. No change in the light yield was observed as the incident ion charge state was varied. The light yield was found to increase by nearly a factor of 10 as the ion beam kinetic energy changed from 8 to 100 keV. 1991.
