摘要
We consider electron impact-driven single and double ionization of magnesium in the energy range of 10 to 100 eV. Our classical Hamiltonian model of these (e, 2e) and (e, 3e) processes sheds light on their total cross sections and reveals the underlying ionization mechanisms. Two pathways are at play in single ionization: delayed and direct. In contrast, only the direct process is observed in double ionization, ruling out the excitation-autoionization channel. We also provide evidence that the so-called Two-Step 2 mechanism predominates over the Two-Step 1 mechanism, in agreement with experiments.
