Charge-state dependence of fast heavy-ion-induced desorption yields described in a thermal model

Yields for secondary ions desorbed from valine, tetrabutylammonium tetraphenylborate, and CsI samples by 13- and 30-MeV ¹⁶O ions have been measured as a function of the primary-ion charge state. The experimental data can be reproduced in terms of a simple thermal model.
