Abstract

Absolute cross sections for electron-impact single ionization of Si+ and Si2+ have been measured using crossed beams of ions and electrons and calculated using a configuration-average distorted-wave method. Corrections have been made for metastable components and small fractions of nitrogen impurities in the incident ion beams. Excitation-autoionization measurably enhances the cross sections of both Si+ and Si2+. Ionization rate coefficients and fitting parameters are presented for the experimental data.
