Secondary ion emission induced by multicharged 18-keV ion bombardment of solid targets

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Solid targets of SiO/sub 2/ CsI, and organic layers of phenylalanine have been bombarded by multicharged Ar/sup q//sup +/ ions with 1less than or equal toqless than or equal to11. The secondary ion yield has been measured as a function of the incident charge state. No charge-state dependence was observed for most of the atomic and molecular ions, which were identified by time-of-flight mass spectrometry. In contrast, the H/sup +/-ion emission is strongly dependent on the incident charge state.
