We present a method for incorporating image-charge effects into the description of charge transport through molecular devices. A simple model allows us to calculate the adjustment of the transport levels, due to the ...

Large and face dependent neutral fractions have been found recently in the scattering of Li+ by Cu(1 0 0) and Cu(1 1 1) surfaces. These results for high work function surfaces are unexpected within the ‘traditional’ picture ...

The very high neutral fractions measured in He+ scattered by graphitelike surfaces, at intermediate incoming energies (1 keV <Ein< 6 keV), cannot be explained only by the resonance of the He ionization level with the valence ...

The monotonous increasing with temperature behavior of the neutralization of Ga+ scattered by a gold surface plus the nonmagnetic character of the ion induced to disregard the important electronic correlation effects. In ...

This paper proposes a novel architecture for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) dc charging station at the megawatt level, through the use of a grid-tied neutral point clamped (NPC) converter. The proposed bipolar dc structure ...

In order to provide information for charge exchange spectroscopy diagnostics in new, high temperature tokamak plasmas, n-level state-selective electron capture cross sections are presented for very highly charged ions with ...

We report measurements of neutral atom fractions for Li+ scattered by a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface as a function of the incident ion energy and exit angle. We found an unexpected large neutralization ...
