Multi-photon ionization processes are important in the fs time regime, and their role increases as the pulse duration decreases.
The type of multi-photon ionization processes involved is also wavelength dependent.
"Getting out of bed isn't going to accelerate the ionization process."
However, in between these electrodes are enormous numbers of neutral air molecules that have been unaffected by the ionization process.
When He is used as the carrier gas, the ionization process occurs by the following mechanism:
Inorganic salts which are also part of protein extracts interfere with the ionization process.
Once the ionization process is complete and plasma forms, the ionized air streaming from the cloud establishes a path to the ground.
Often, the ionization process is sufficiently violent to leave the resulting ions with sufficient internal energy to fragment within the mass spectrometer.
Because of the nature of the ionization process, ionic air purifiers tend to generate the most ozone.
This ionization process makes the plasma able to conduct electricity.
