Abstract
In the present work, we have explored the interference effects which arise when H2 + and H3 + cluster ions interact with a thin layer of SiO2 in order to obtain a clear signature of plasmon excitations induced by these energetic projectiles. For this purpose, high-energy-resolution experiments were carried out as a function of the incoming projectile energy, covering an energy range between 40 and 200 keV/amu. The ratio Rn between the energy loss of the cluster and the sum of the energy loss of ...
In the present work, we have explored the interference effects which arise when H2 + and H3 + cluster ions interact with a thin layer of SiO2 in order to obtain a clear signature of plasmon excitations induced by these energetic projectiles. For this purpose, high-energy-resolution experiments were carried out as a function of the incoming projectile energy, covering an energy range between 40 and 200 keV/amu. The ratio Rn between the energy loss of the cluster and the sum of the energy loss of its constituents has a steep increase between 70 and 100 keV/amu for both cluster ions, which is associated with the plasmon excitation threshold. ...
