A substantial effort is under way to develop single attosecond optical pulses 1,2,3, or trains of attosecond pulses 4,5,6, using the physical processes occuring in high-harmonic generation 7. High ...
A strong laser beam can remove an electron from an atom – a process which takes place almost instantly. This phenomenon could now be studied with a time resolution of less than ten attoseconds (ten ...
Recommended source conditions for contributing electron ionization (EI) mass spectra to commercial libraries are ionization energy of 70 eV and an ion source temperature of 200°C. However, spectral ...
The objective of this project is to clarify the contribution of the magnetic field of the laser onto the ionization mechanism experimentally, which is not taken into account in the usual ...
Agilent Technologies Inc. has introduced the 7010 Triple Quadrupole GC/MS System featuring a totally redesigned ion source that is a radical departure from the conventional ion sources currently on ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you were to take any tiny piece of matter in our known Universe and ...
Before ranking elements by their ionization energy, it's important to understand the factors that govern this property: Nuclear Charge: A higher nuclear charge (more protons in the nucleus) results in ...
