Abstract
Absolute cross sections for the single ionization of Al+ and Cd+ by en ergy-resolved electrons have been measured from their thresholds to 11 5 eV and 95 eV respectively. The Al+ cross section was similar in magn itude to those reported by Montague and Harrison and Belic et al but d iffered in detail. Contributions from excitation-autoionization and th e states that may give rise to it are discussed. The Cd+ cross section was similar to that of Belic et al except that considerable step-like structure due to indirect ionization processes was resolved for elect ron energies above 20 eV.
