Description

We report an effective method to selectively produce highly charged ions by photoionization of cluster beams using commercial nanosecond Nd:yttrium-aluminum-garnet lasers at different wavelengths. He-like ions of C4+, N5+, O6+, S6+ and highly charged Xeq+ (q∼19) ions are produced when cluster beams of benzene, ammonia, acetone, hydrogen sulfide, and xenon are irradiated, respectively, by 1064 nm laser with intensity of ∼1011 W/cm2. While the cluster beams are irradiated by 532 nm laser of similar intensity, the ions of the highest charge state switch to C3+, N3+, O3+, S4+ and Xe11+, respectively
