Differential electron emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules under fast ion impact

Abstract Interaction between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecule and energetic ion is a subject of interest in different areas of modern physics. Here, we present measurements of energy and angular distributions of absolute double differential electron emission cross section for coronene...
