Ion-impact-induced interatomic Coulombic decay in neon and argon dimers
(
American Physical Society
, 2013 , Article)
We investigate the contribution of interatomic Coulombic decay induced by ion impact in neon and argon dimers (Ne2 and Ar2) to the production of low-energy electrons. Our experiments cover a broad range of perturbation ...
