Ak. Alomari et R. Reininger, DENSITY-DEPENDENCE OF THE IONIZATION-POTENTIAL OF H2S IN ARGON, Journal of electron spectroscopy and related phenomena, 79, 1996, pp. 463-466
The effect of argon on the ionization potential of H2S was investigate
d by means of field ionization for a wide range of argon densities bet
ween the gas and the triple point liquid. The ionization potential dec
reases monotonically with the host density and its width exhibits a ma
ximum at around the critical density. The latter is attributed to the
broadening of the ion-medium polarization energy distribution and is d
ue to the fluctuations in the microscopic structure of the fluid.
