Study a scanning potential influence on probing ion trajectory in sense of the ion mirror effect

Abstract EN

This work is carried out to describe the behavior of an accelerated probing ion that is orientated towards a charged poly methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) sample and hence producing ion mirror images.A mathematical derivation for the path equation of this ion is based electrostatic theories aspects and on approximating of the trapped charges on the insulator as a point charge.This paper focused is to study a scanning potential influence on probing ion trajectory in sense of the ion mirror effect, in fact, this parameter (Scanning Potential) is considered from the most important parameter that control the mirror effect phenomenon.

The obtained results are encouraging for using the presented procedure to simulate the ion trajectory for describing, analyzing, and adding more details to understanding ion mirror effect for further studies.-
