Two coudé spectra of V1016 Cyg taken on June 24 and 27, 1979 were reduced, using a computer programme developed in Marseille. Radial velocities and full widths at half maximum were measured for the emission lines, and are summarized in the following table were VR is the mean radial velocity in km s-1, DV the velocity corresponding to the mean FWHM and Xi the effective ionization potential for the ion.

Precisely known atomic scattering factors are essential for accurate atom location by channelling enhanced microanalysis (ALCHEMI) based on inner-shell ionization.1 For ALCHEMI using energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX), first principles calculations of ionization cross sections, realistically modeling the “delocalization” of the ionization interaction, give excellent agreement with experiment.2 Such calculations are complex and computationally intensive. Hence, simple analytic forms are often assumed to describe the ionization potential. However such analytic forms require prior knowledge of the “delocalization” of the effective ionization interaction. Such an approach assumes that the precise shape of the ionization potential is not important but that at least the half width at half maximum (HWHM) should be accurately estimated, for example using estimates of the HWHM from root-mean-square impact parameters for ionization. However this is generally not a good approximation3 and we have provided more realistic estimates (Fig. 1).

A simple solution to the serious problem of specimen contamination in the electron microscope is presented. This is accomplished by the introduction of clean helium into the vacuum exactly at the specimen position. The local pressure gradient thus established inhibits the migration of hydrocarbon molecules to the specimen surface. The high ionization potential of He permits the use of relatively large volumes of the gas, without interfering with gun stability. The contamination rate is reduced on metal samples by a factor of 10.
