  2. Photoionization detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoionization_detector

    In a photoionization detector, high-energy photons, typically in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) range, break molecules into positively charged ions. [2] As compounds enter the detector they are bombarded by high-energy UV photons and are ionized when they absorb the UV light, resulting in ejection of electrons and the formation of positively charged ions.

  3. Photoionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoionization

    When either the laser intensity is further increased or a longer wavelength is applied as compared with the regime in which multi-photon ionization takes place, a quasi-stationary approach can be used and results in the distortion of the atomic potential in such a way that only a relatively low and narrow barrier between a bound state and the continuum states remains.

  4. Ionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionization

    Combined potential of an atom and a uniform laser field. At distances r < r 0, the potential of the laser can be neglected, while at distances with r > r 0 the Coulomb potential is negligible compared to the potential of the laser field. The electron emerges from under the barrier at r = R c. E i is the ionization potential of the atom.

  5. Ion - Wikipedia

    The energy required to detach an electron in its lowest energy state from an atom or molecule of a gas with less net electric charge is called the ionization potential, or ionization energy. The nth ionization energy of an atom is the energy required to detach its nth electron after the first n − 1 electrons have already been detached.

  6. Ionic potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_potential

    Ionic potential is the ratio of the electrical charge (z) to the radius (r) of an ion. [1]= = As such, this ratio is a measure of the charge density at the surface of the ion; usually the denser the charge, the stronger the bond formed by the ion with ions of opposite charge.

  7. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    PID controllers work best when the loop to be controlled is linear and symmetric. Thus, their performance in non-linear and asymmetric systems is degraded. A non-linear valve, for instance, in a flow control application, will result in variable loop sensitivity, requiring dampened action to prevent instability.

  8. PID - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID

    PID controller (proportional-integral-derivative controller), a control concept used in automation Piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID), a diagram in the process industry which shows the piping of the process flow etc.

  9. Electron donor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_donor

    The electron donating power of a donor molecule is measured by its ionization potential, which is the energy required to remove an electron from the highest occupied molecular orbital . The overall energy balance (ΔE), i.e., energy gained or lost, in an electron donor-acceptor transfer is determined by the difference between the acceptor's ...
