Considerations in Zircon Geochronology by SIMS
Trevor Ireland,Ian S. Williams +1 more
TL;DR: Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is a versatile technique for measuring the chemical and isotopic composition of solid materials on a scale of a few microns as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
High density cascade effects
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of high density cascades in solids are discussed with reference to their effects in the bulk (i.e. damage production and inert gas detrapping) and on the surface properties (e.g. sputtering, secondary ion and electron emission).
Journal ArticleDOI
Applications of the ion microprobe to geochemistry and cosmochemistry
TL;DR: The use of secondary ion mass spectrometers for in situ analysis of isotope composition has been studied in the field of geochemical and cosmochemical applications of the ion microprobe as discussed by the authors.

Charge exchange in atom-surface scattering: Thermal versus quantum mechanical non-adiabaticity
R. Brako,D.M. Newns +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the ionic fraction in the reflected beam when an atom or ion is scattered from a metal surface at finite temperature is considered, and three regimes are distinguished: low temperature, high temperature and low temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
SIMS analysis of oxygen isotopes: matrix effects in complex minerals and glasses
TL;DR: In this article, a large instrumental mass fractionation occurs during the measurement of oxygen isotope ratios by secondary ion mass spectrometry and the magnitude of this fractionation can be dependent upon sample chemistry, resulting in so-called "matrix effects".

Trajectory Surface Hopping Approach to Nonadiabatic Molecular Collisions: The Reaction of H+ with D2
John C. Tully,Richard K. Preston +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of the classical trajectory approach is proposed that may be useful in treating many types of nonadiabatic molecular collisions, where nuclei are assumed to move classically on a single potential energy surface until an avoided surface crossing or other region of large NDE coupling is reached.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Threshold Law for Single Ionization of Atoms or Ions by Electrons
TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of the yield on the energy just above a threshold is derived and the derivation is not rigorous because it circumvents some of the difficulties of the three-body problem by applying ergodicity, albeit in a weakened form.
