Thanks for all of the assistance everyone.
Linh, I tried out your suggestions and it worked like a charm. I was
wondering if you would explain to me how you arrived at those numbers and
why they worked while the prior ones did not. Further, I'm going to be
moving the ion closer to the surface in future calculations. Will I have to
recalculate those numbers or am I ok to keep them as they are now?
Many thanks,
