  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. Principal ideal domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_ideal_domain

    The previous three statements give the definition of a Dedekind domain, and hence every principal ideal domain is a Dedekind domain. Let A be an integral domain, the following are equivalent. A is a PID. Every prime ideal of A is principal. [13] A is a Dedekind domain that is a UFD.

  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. Periodic trends - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_trends

    The ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy that an electron in a gaseous atom or ion has to absorb to come out of the influence of the attracting force of the nucleus. It is also referred to as ionization potential. The first ionization energy is the amount of energy that is required to remove the first electron from a neutral atom.

  6. Photoionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoionization

    The probability of photoionization is related to the photoionization cross section of the species – the probability of an ionization event conceptualized as a hypothetical cross-sectional area. This cross section depends on the energy of the photon (proportional to its wavenumber) and the species being considered i.e. it depends on the ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Mathematical puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_puzzle

    Mathematical puzzles require mathematics to solve them. Logic puzzles are a common type of mathematical puzzle. Conway's Game of Life and fractals, as two examples, may also be considered mathematical puzzles even though the solver interacts with them only at the beginning by providing a set of initial conditions. After these conditions are set ...

  9. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductively_coupled_plasma...

    The high temperature of the plasma is sufficient to cause a very large portion of the sample to form ions. This fraction of ionization can approach 100% for some elements (e.g. sodium), but this is dependent on the ionization potential. A fraction of the formed ions passes through a ~1 mm hole (sampler cone) and then a ~0.4 mm hole (skimmer cone).
