Effect of density on the equilibrium charge distribution of carbon and oxygen ions

Abstract

Theoretical estimation of the equilibrium charge distribution of carbon and oxygen ions passed through a matter is obtained. The coefficient considering the effect of density on the charge distribution of these ions is calculated for an amorphous medium consisting of atoms with the nuclear charge Z t (Z t ≤ 54). An oscillating dependence of the average ion charge on the nuclear charge of the target atom is obtained which cannot be described by empirical relations.
