  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

    In mathematics, a principal ideal domain, or PID, is an integral domain (that is, a commutative ring without nonzero zero divisors) in which every ideal is principal (that is, is formed by the multiples of a single element). Some authors such as Bourbaki refer to PIDs as principal rings.

  4. Appearance energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appearance_energy

    Appearance energy (also known as appearance potential) is the minimum energy that must be supplied to a gas phase atom or molecule in order to produce an ion. In mass spectrometry, it is accounted as the voltage to correspond for electron ionization. [1] This is the minimum electron energy that produces an ion. [2]

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Koopmans' theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koopmans'_theorem

    For N 2 in contrast, the order of orbital energies is not identical to the order of ionization energies. Near-Hartree–Fock calculations with a large basis set indicate that the 1π u bonding orbital is the HOMO. However the lowest ionization energy corresponds to removal of an electron from the 3σ g bonding orbital. In this case the ...

  9. Potential determining ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_Determining_Ion

    The ability of an ion to preferentially dissolve (as a result of unequal activities) over its counterion is classified as the potential determining ion. The properties of this ion are strongly related to the surface potential present on a corresponding solid. [1] This unequal property between corresponding ions results in a net surface charge.
