X-ray emission from the collisions of 3 MeV Ar11+ ions with V,Fe,Co,Ni,Cu,and Zn is investigated.Both the x-rays of the target atom and projectile are observed simultaneously.The x-ray yield is extracted from the original count.The inner-shell ionization cross section is estimated by the binary encounter approximation model and compared with the experimental result.The remarkable result is that the Ar K-shell x-ray yield is diminished with the target atomic number increasing,which is completely opposite to the theoretical calculation.That is interpreted by the competitive consumption of the energy loss for the ionization of inner-shell electrons between the projectile and target atom.
