(a) Schematic of ionization in an isolated ion. (b) “Inner ionization” in dense plasma. (c) Influence of neighboring ions on the target ion in WDP. The outer orbitals of the target ion expand into continuous bands, and electrons excited into these continuous energy bands become delocalized and can be considered as ionized41.
