At low velocities, the interaction between a highly charged ion (HCI) and matter is predominantly governed by the large amount of potential energy carried into the collision by the HCI. This unique feature leads to a multitude of common properties shared among ion-atom, ion-cluster, and ion-surface collisions. Among them are effects of strong long-range polarization forces, formation of multiply excited hollow atoms and ions, and dissipation of potential energy by emission of a large number of particles (electrons, photons, atoms and ions). In this seminar we will discuss a few representative examples of recent developments elucidating basic physical properties as well as directions for future technological applications. |
