Abstract

Light emission produced by slow alkali ions in the rare gases was observed for ion accelerating potentials below those necessary to produce ionization. It was found that light could be observed in helium, neon and argon at the lowest ion accelerating potential for the particular alkali ion that lay closest to the gas in the periodic table. A sodium ion beam in neon produced light at lower accelerating potentials than those reported for neon ions in neon.
