Strong contributions of indirect processes to the electron-impact ionization cross section of Sc+ ions

Description

The absolute electron-impact ionization cross section of Sc+ ions was measured by employing the crossed beams technique. We find pronounced contributions (up to ∼30%) of indirect processes to the total ionization cross section. This finding is related to the existence of exceptionally strong 3p→3d excitation channels in Sc+(3p63d4s)
