Proton and light ion nanobeams from field ionization of water

(author unknown)



Z. Hammadi, M. Descoins, and E. Salançon et al.

We observe emission of protons and Hn+ (n up to 4) at room temperature from field ionization of thick films of water adsorbed on Pt or Pd, not on W tips. This differs from previous field ionization experiments of water, all of which show hydrated proton emission. Our observations are explained by ... [Appl. Phys.
