Ionization in a sentence

Adiabatic ionization is a form of ionization in which an electron is removed from or added to an atom or molecule in its lowest energy state to form an ion in its lowest energy state.

A familiar example of thermal ionization is the flame-ionization of a common fire, and the browning reactions in common food items induced by infrared radiation, during broiling-type cooking.

At night the F layer is the only layer of significant ionization present, while the ionization in the E and D layers is extremely low.

Electrometers designed for use with ionization chambers may include a high-voltage power supply, which is used to power the ionization chamber.

For a given atom, successive ionization energies increase with the degree of ionization.

Ionization energy of atoms Figure 1. Ionization energies of neutral elements.

Ionization gauge Ionization gauges are the most sensitive gauges for very low pressures (also referred to as hard or high vacuum).

Ionization is due to soft X-ray (1–10 nm) and far ultraviolet (UV) solar radiation ionization of molecular oxygen (O₂).

Lower in the atmosphere all of the solar photons with energies above the ionization potential of N 2 and O 2 have already been absorbed by the higher layers and thus no appreciable ionization occurs.

Origin of the satellites is usually attributed to multiple ionization events in an atom or ionization cascades in which a series of electrons is emitted as relaxation occurs for core holes of multiple levels.

This fraction of ionization can approach 100% for some elements (e.g. sodium), but this is dependent on the ionization potential.

This makes for a 160-picosecond light pulse for argon (even a small drop in temperature causes a large drop in ionization, due to the large ionization energy relative to photon energy).

This wide range of ionization shows that the gas is highly irradiated by the quasar, not merely hot, and not by stars, which cannot produce such a wide range of ionization.

How Solar Flares Could Blackout the Power GridThe effects from highly charged ionization of charge particles that are introduced from Corona Mass Ejections (CME) onto our electrical grid.

The high-frequency waves such as cosmic, gamma and X-rays, have enough energy to cause ionization.

According to the report, a few minor space flares have been emitted by this particular Sunspot group already, which has not caused anything major other than “minor waves of ionization to ripple through Earth’s upper atmosphere”.

As part of the school’s coronavirus response, the college purchased and installed modular ionization technology, special air filters for dormitories, classrooms, and other facilities.

Council member Bill Franzen questioned why the city would use the ionization system at the RCC when it’s not being used in schools or any other city building.

We may send humans to Callisto, which is resource rich, covered in ice, protected from ionizing radiation by the Jovian magnetic field and yet well away from its own ionization belts.

The algorithm, which is based on a theory developed earlier by the same team, predicts tunneling ionization rates of molecules.
