Hollow atoms
Additional recommended knowledgeHollow Atoms (discovered in 1990 by a French team of researchers around Jean-Pierre Briand) are short-lived multiply-excited neutral atoms which carry a large part of their Z electrons (Z ... projectile nuclear charge) in high-n levels while inner shells remain (transiently) empty. This population inversion arises for typically 100 femtoseconds during the interaction of a slow highly charged ion (HCI) with a solid surface. |
