9781402015823: Physics of Multiply and Highly Charged Ions: Interactions With Matter

Synopsis

Highly charged ions are the most chemically reactive species known to mankind. This reactivity is due to the extremely large potential energy they posses. This textbook deals with the wide range of interactions which occur when such ions interact with other forms of matter, especially solid surfaces and gasses. Particular emphasis is placed on situations where the kinetic energy associated with the interactions is small so that the effects of the high potential energy are most apparent. Experimental and theoretical techniques of investigation are covered in addition to the findings they produce.
The treatment aims to be instructive to the beginner while leading on to a level where the newest findings are reviewed. As such the text is suitable for final year undergraduates, postgraduates or experienced researchers.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is the first in a series of two volumes providing an introduction and comprehensive review of the physics of highly charged ions. Dealing with sources, applications and fundamental processes, it covers a wide range of topics varying from cancer therapy to tests of quantum electrodynamics. Fusion related processes and those pertaining to astrophysics receive comprehensive coverage as well as theoretical and experimental treatments of the fundamental processes in which highly charged ions can become involved. All of these subjects are covered and the newest findings are reviewed.
