THE TRANS FORMATIVE FUTURE OF ELECTRON IMPACT IONIZATION STUDIES FOR ZINC ATOM

Abstract

This study decisively investigates the ionisation cross-section of the zinc atom resulting from electron impact. Utilizing a semi-empirical approach, we analyze the ionisation process across a comprehensive energy value from the threshold up to 5120 eV, employing electron impact mass spectrometry. Our computational calculations yield a robust graph that clearly illustrates the strong correlation between energy and the cross section. Furthermore, we systematically examined the fragmented ions of the zinc atom such as and accurately calculated their total ionization cross section (TICS). Our TICS results align closely with the previous findings of Jaspreet Kaur and Dhanoj Gupta et al (1993), demonstrating a significant degree of agreement. This research underscores the importance of fundamental processes that have far-reaching applications in plasma physics, material science, and astrophysics.
