Abstract
The recoil-atom ionization of some isotopes from Sc to Po produced by heavy ioninduced nuclear reactions has been investigated. An analysis of the available data on the ionic charge distributions of nuclear reaction products has shown that atomic ionization in the mass range ofA~ 40–70 corresponds to the calculated values. It has been found that the contribution from additional ionization due to the formation of inner-shell vacancies as a result of the internal conversion of nuclear transitions grows as the atomic number and excitation energy of nuclei increase and reaches 90% for Po recoil atoms from fusion reactions.
