Dose the charge effect of irradiating ions play a part in the radiation damage build-up in materials? e.g., the Xe+ and Xe26+ ions induced damages in a specific kind of material are due to the same or different mechanism?
Thanks in advance!
Many things have to be considered to answer your question. For your 1st question: The irradiating ions will be slowed down and stopped further by loosing energy by (i) nuclear stopping and (ii) electronic stopping (study these). Either of them dominates the other depending on the energy of irradiating ion. Here we should also consider about the target whether it a metal or non-metal. For your 2nd question: I guess, the mechanisms would be the same in the same target material.
Depending on the energy of the ion it will quickly lose/gain electrons. This will happen very fast so the initial charge state of the ion does not play a role. Then, as written be Srinivas, the ion will lose energy by nuclear and electronic stopping.
you may return to the Beta Bloch function and see the parameter Zeff which is the effective charge of the incident ion on a certain material.
Yes, I agree with Erik and parts of the other replies; basically the charge is stripped nearly instantaneously at the surface of the material being irradiated, leaving a neutral atom moving through the material and losing energy via electronic/nuclear processes.
Not more explanation is needed after the Srinivas sir 'sand Erik mam's answer....
They explain details...
For more support, miss. Yang... please see the attached book
for the irradiating ions will be slowed down and stopped further by loosing energy by ( first the nuclear stopping and second the electronic stopping (study these).
