The key point of material science is the fundamental understanding of charged particles and electric magnetic field interactions with solids and surfaces. During the talk I will give a short overview of my recent investigations performed during the last few years. The presentation will cover the following topics: a) proton microbeam transmission through insulator single capillary, b) study of mouse bones and related compounds by electron Rutherford backscattering technique c) Time-resolved photoelectron emission from surfaces.
a) Charged particles, keeping their initial charge states, can be transmitted through an insulating capillary even if the capillary axis is tilted with respect to the incident beam axis larger than the geometrical limit. This phenomenon is called charged particle guiding. As a unique feature, we used the combination of single charged projectiles and single capillaries. The time dependent behavior of a 1 MeV proton microbeam passing through a Teflon single microcapillary was investigated. We identified three completely different regions in the transmission as a function of time. At first, at the beginning of the creation of the charge patch on the inner wall of the capillary, the energy spectra of the transmitted protons contained only inelastic contributions. This is due to Coulomb scattering on the inner wall atoms. Later the elastic peak also appears and becomes more and more significant. Finally, in the third region, after the amount of deposited charge on the wall reached a dynamical equilibrium, stable guided transmission was obtained.
b) Electron Rutherford backscattering (ERBS) is a new technique that could be developed into a tool of materials analysis. We establish a methodology for the use of ERBS for materials analysis of more complex samples using bone minerals. For this purpose we studied also several reference samples containing Ca: calcium carbonate, hydroxyapatite as well as mouse bone powder itself. A very good understanding of the spectra of calcium carbonate and hydroxyapatite was obtained. ERBS can become a useful tool to study bone mineralization. More in general this case study has shown that ERBS provides an interesting new favor of microanalysis, a technique that, we think, could have interesting applications, especially if it would be integrated in some kind of electron microscopy.
c) The attosecond streaking technique provides a unique tool to study the motion of particles with unprecedented accuracy. While originally developed for investigations of atomic systems streaking is now also applied to condensed-matter systems. As a last part of the talk we have concentrated on emission time delay due to transport effects for core and conduction band levels of metallic systems with electron energies of about 100 eV. We model the target as amorphous with bulk values for the atomic and electron densities together with quantum mechanically calculated cross sections providing information about scattering events (i.e. the mean free path) under the combined influences of crystal atoms, other target electrons, and the external pump and streaking fields. Good agreement between this semiclassical model and experimental results was reached.
