摘要: Multiply charged titanium ions including Ti4+ were observed in high power impulse magnetron sputtering discharges. Mass/charge spectrometry was used to identify metal ion species. Quadruply identified by isotope-induced broadening at mass/charge 12. Due their potential energy, give a yield of secondary electrons, which turn are likely be responsible for the generation multiply states.
