Appendix 6: Atomic Ionization Cross Sections

CONTENTS

References

 

Atomic ionization cross sections are often required for theoretical calculation of ionization cross sections by the additivity rule. Tables A6.1 through A6.4 provide cross sections for selected atoms. The data supplement those given in Chapter 1. First entry in each table is the ionization potential.
