Problem set 10 (due
5/10/99)
1. Consider single ionization in an ion-atom collision event. The electron
initially has a binding energy of Ei (a negative number) and
after ionization it has energy Ef (a positive number). Use conservation
of energy and conservation of momentum in the parallel and perpendicular
directions (with respect to the beam direction), show that the momentum
of the recoil ion in the parallel direction is given by
PR||= ( Ef -Ei)/v -ke||
where R stands for recoil ion and e for the electron. In deriving the
equation above, use want to use the fact that the mass of the nucleus is
much higher than the mass of the electron.
