  Electron excitation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electron excitation is the movement of an electron to a higher energy state.
Within a semiconductor crystal lattice, thermal excitation is a process where lattice vibrations provide enough energy to move electrons to a higher energy band.
When an excited electron falls back to a lower energy state again, it is called electron relaxation This can be done by radiation of a photon or giving the energy to a third spectator particle as well.

The corresponding 100-eV excitation cross sections for the X and A states deduced from the total N$_2$$^+$ 100-eV electron impact ionization cross section which is known from other measurements are 86.9+or-7.0*10/sup -18/ cm/sup 2/ and 87.9+or-7.0*10/sup -18/ cm/sup 2/, respectively.
Measurements at various gas pressures, electron energies, and electron currents indicated that there was not a simple relation between the observed relative populations of the vibrational levels and the excitation rate of ground state molecules to these levels.
Relative excitation functions are presented for N$_2$ first negative bands with v' values from 0 through 9 for 0 to 50 eV, for the (0,0) and (1,0) N$_2$$^+$ first negative bands for 0 to 450 eV, and for the (3,0) and (4,1) N$_2$$^+$ Meinel bands for 0 to 450 eV.

 Overview
Since the direct excitation cross section is usually desired, one must determine the total cascade contribution and subtract this from the apparent cross section.
An excitation function is a plot of cross section versus the incident electron energy.
Excitation functions for the direct cross section generally fall into a number of catergories, depending upon what the final (excited) state is. For example, in electron impact excitation of ground state helium there are three families of excitation functions:

Electron plasma formation plays a crucial role and is the focus of this work.
There are two proposed interactions that contribute to electron plasma formation: photoionization and avalanche ionization, but the individual contribution of each of these ionization processes is controversial.
We also present measurements that separate the two excitation processes and identify the role played by each in the ionization of media.

A scanning electron beam is positioned to produce local heating, and to observe the resulting motion.
A scanning electron microscope e-beam may be used to provide the energy, and beam steering can bring a spot of energy a fraction of a micron in diameter to bear on a sample.
This was to enable the electron beam to bring the temperature through a relatively small temperature change to effect the phase transformation.

 Electron Impact Excitation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Electron impact excitation of simple atoms is being studied by observing both the scattered electron after excitation of the atom to a particular state and the photon emitted in the decay of the same atom, using coincidence techniques.
Measurement of the angular and polarisation correlations between the scattered electrons and the emitted photons gives fundamental information such as the shape of the excited state charge cloud and the expectation value of the angular momentum transferred in the collision.
Such studies provide the most stringent possible test of theoretical models of electron excitation and the programme is carried out in close collaboration with parallel theoretical studies.

 Electron-Ion Interactions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
In the EBIT traps, the ions are constantly bombarded by electrons.
In radiative recombination, an electron is captured into a vacant orbital of the ion, emitting a photon whose energy is equal to the sum of the electron’s initial kinetic energy and the binding energy of the state to which it is captured.
We quickly ramp the electron beam energy over the range of energies to be studied.

 Electron Impact Excitation of Inert Gases
The last decade has witnessed enormous advances in technology which has permitted both experimentalists and theoreticians to perform measurements and calculations that were previously thought to be impossible.
In fact, theoretical calculations have been so successful for excitation of these atoms that, if these is a disagreement between experiment and theory, the experiment would be questioned.
An overview of the current status of theoretical calculations for electron excitation of the inert gases will be given in this talk.

 Grazing-angle ion-induced electron excitation at metal surfaces
Using grazing-angle, ion-induced electron emission spectroscopy at clean and oxygen-covered metal surfaces (Al, Cu, Fe, Ni(110) and Pd(110)), the authors have studied the angle-resolved energy distribution (ARED) of emitted electrons which directly reveals details of the initial electron excitation mechanisms.
The authors find that secondary electron cascades are strongly suppressed and that the ion-induced electron excitation occurs predominantly at the topmost surface layer.
The major excitation mechanisms for electron emission are single electron excitation via decay of surface and bulk plasmons (for 150 keV H

 Infrared Auroral Emissions Driven by Resonant Electron Impact Excitation of NO Molecules
The main process leading to the production of these excited molecules was thought to be chemiluminescence, whereby excited nitrogen atoms interact with oxygen molecules to form vibrationally excited nitric oxide (NO*) and atomic oxygen.
Here we show evidence that a different production mechanism for NO*, due to low energy electron impact excitation of NO molecules, is responsible for more than 30% of the NO auroral emission near 5 μm.
