Va. Kurnaev et al., CHARGE FRACTIONS IN A HYDROGEN BEAM REFLECTED FROM TARGETS WITH DIFFERENT ELECTRON-DENSITY, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 78(1-4), 1993, pp. 63-67
The energy and angular dependences of the charge fraction formation du
ring hydrogen ion scattering from Cu, Ni, Mo, W, C, Si, SiO2 are inves
tigated experimentally in the energy interval up to 50 keV. The positi
ve eta+, and negative eta- ion fractions are observed to increase with
the decreasing of the free electron concentration at the small angle
scattering of particles with (upsilon < upsilon0). It is shown that th
e values of charged fractions as function of the exit angle are depend
ent on both the electron properties of the target and the energy of th
e reflected particles. The dependence of the charge fractions ratio on
the path length of the particles in Si is observed. This effect is ex
plained in the frame of the electron capture and loss model. The surfa
ce relief influence on the charge fraction formation for the W target
is investigated and it is shown that a developed relief makes the char
ge fraction dependences on the exit angle very weak.
