Ionization

  1. Time-resolved X-ray probes track heating and ionization in solid-density plasma
    Sub-picosecond X-ray spectroscopy and multi-scale simulations reveal spatiotemporal heating and ionization dynamics in laser-driven plasmas, with implications for fusion energy models.
  2. Trace ethylene boosts nitrogen GC-MS sensitivity
    Adding trace ethylene to nitrogen carrier gas in GC-MS increases sensitivity 20-fold while maintaining 70 eV electron-ionization spectral patterns compatible with existing reference libraries.
  3. Te atomic data modeled for kilonova spectral studies
    Comprehensive R-matrix atomic data for tellurium ions improves kilonova spectral modeling, identifying Te iv contributions to AT2017gfo emission features and advancing neutron star merger.
  4. Odd isotope selectivity achieved in calcium resonance ionization
    Selective resonance ionization technique using angular momentum selection rules and polarized light enables isolation of rare calcium isotopes Ca-43 and Ca-41 while suppressing abundant Ca-40.
