Six critical steps are involved in the manufacturing of semiconductors. These steps include deposition, photoresist, lithography, etch, ionization and packaging. This article discusses several ...

Researchers have achieved real-time capture of the ionization process and subsequent structural changes in gas-phase molecules through an enhanced mega-electronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV ...

Ions are everywhere, from our daily surroundings to the cosmic expanse. As common table salt (NaCl) dissolves into sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) ions in water, it imparts a salty taste. Once ...

Researchers propose a scheme to identify and weigh the quantum orbits in strong-field tunneling ionization. Electron motion in atoms and molecules is of fundamental importance to many physical, ...

In this interview, AZoM talks to Ed Sprake, Principal Product Manager at Waters, about the work Waters do with ambient ionization in mass spectrometry and the potential that this innovation has.

For the experiment, an intense femtosecond ultraviolet laser pulse was employed to induce resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization in 1,3-dibromopropane (1,3-DBP) molecules. The picosecond and ...
