A literature review starting from 1950 is given on the design and geometry of ionisation
gauge types with hot cathodes. Considerations on the material of the electrodes and of …

Surface modification of different materials exposed to an environment typical for hot cathode
ionisation vacuum gauges was investigated. Such environment has been generated in a …

We report on experiments designed to observe the correlation between the autoionization of
doubly excited helium atoms and the Auger decay of 2p vacancies in Al. The autoionizing …

The extreme sensitivity of 2D materials to defects and nanostructure requires precise
imaging techniques to verify presence of desirable and absence of undesirable features in …

Ion-induced electron emission (IIEE) is an important process whereby ions impinging on a
material surface lead to net emission of electrons into the vacuum. While relevant for …

This chapter is concerned with heavy particle collisions (ions and atoms) at low energies
(below a few keV) and will discuss first the physical mechanisms and then applications to …

We report measurements of neutral atom fractions for Li+ scattered by a highly oriented
pyrolytic graphite surface as a function of the incident ion energy and exit angle. We found …

We report experimental studies of electron emission in the interaction of 1–8 keV Kr+ ions
with clean Al surfaces. We observe that total electron emission yield depends exponentially …

This dissertation describes three computational models developed to simulate important
aspects of low-temperature plasma devices, most notably ring-cusp ion discharges and …

We present a time-dependent quantum mechanical calculation of the charge transfer
process in He+∕ Al collision, where the resonant neutralization to the ground and first …
