Ion Formation Processes: Ionization in Ion-Electron Collisions

  • Chapter
Physics of Ion Impact Phenomena

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 54))

Abstract

When an ensemble of atoms, of density n 0, is kept at room temperature the collisions that occur are generally not energetic enough to result in ejection of any electrons. This situation is depicted in Fig. 2.1 for sample atoms consisting of an ionic core and only one bound electron. When energy is fed into the gas (Fig. 2.2) the atomic collisions become more violent and some atoms get ionized. The free electrons produced by such collisions can ionize further atoms or recombine with the ions. At a fixed temperature T an equilibrium will be formed with a certain density of electrons n e(T), ions n +(T) and atoms n 0 (T). Conservation of particles and charge requires n e = n + and n 0(T0) = n +(T)+n 0(T).
