EXPERIMENT • ION SURVIVAL PROBABILITY • percentage of incident ions • surviving a surface collision as product ions • SA = 100 ΣIprod/ Iinc (%) • ( Iinc = Itarg,m + ΣIprod ) • Experimental determination • Direct measurement of projectile ion current incident on the target (Itarg,m) • Determination of total current of product ions from ion current to the detector, collecting efficiency of the apparatus, and angular distributions
PERCENTAGE OF SURVIVING IONS, Sa(%) • CARBON (HOPG), INC. ANGLE 300 (w.r. to the surface)
PERCENTAGE OF SURVIVING IONS C3Hn+, Sa (%) (room-temperature carbon (HOPG) surfaces) incident angle: 300 with respect to the surface
ION SURVIVAL PROBABILITY, Sa (%) CONCLUSION: survival probability on W or Be usually about 5-10x smaller than on HOPG

CONCLUSIONS • Survival probability of ions in collisions with surfaces, SA, changes over several orders of magnitude (from ~10% to 10-3% ) depending on the type of ion, type of surface and incident angle. • SA for even-electron ions (low ionization energies) appears to be much higher than for radical cations (open-shell ions, higher ionization energies) • A dependence of SAvs. IE of the projectile ion shows a drastic change (from ~10 % to less than 1%) at IE ~ 9 - 10 eV. For surfaces covered with hydrocarbons this correlates well with the IE of C4-C10 olefins with non-terminal C=C. • A dependence log SAvs. IE shows a good correlation over many orders of magnitude • log SA = a – b (IE) • with „a“ dependent on the type of the surface, and b = - 0.35 - 0.4 for room-temperature (hydrocarbon-covered surfaces)
