Kenttäionisointi
Kenttäionisointi is a Finnish term that translates to "field ionization" in English. It refers to a scientific process where atoms or molecules are ionized—converted into charged particles—by applying a strong electric field without the need for thermal or radiative excitation. This technique is particularly significant in the fields of atomic physics, mass spectrometry, and surface science, where precise ionization of neutral particles is required.
In field ionization, an intense electric field causes the outer electrons of atoms or molecules to tunnel
The method has applications in the development of highly sensitive analytical instruments and in fundamental research,
Overall, kenttäionisointi is a vital technique within various scientific disciplines, offering a means for gentle and
