Bulk and surface plasmon excitation in the interaction of Heþ with Mg surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on studies of plasmon excitation in Mg under the impact of slow Heþ ions in the incident energy range 0.1–0.5 keV. Consistent with studies on Al surfaces, a transition from surface to bulk plasmon excitation occurs as the energy of the ion is increased. Previous methods in the literature to obtain information about yields of electron emission from plasmon decay are discussed. A new data analysis procedure is presented, which allows disentangling the contributions to the experimental spectra arising from different emission mechanisms, showing that potential excitation of multipole surface plasmons gives an important contribution to electron emission. 2003 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملPlasmon-assisted electron emission from Al and Mg surfaces by slow ions.
We report energy distributions of electrons emitted from Al and Mg surfaces bombarded by 30– 4500 eV He, Ne, and Ar ions, which contain structure consistent with the decay of surface and bulk plasmons. We propose that plasmon excitation is due to the sudden change of the surface dipole (incident ion plus image charge) resulting from the disappearance of the image charge and appearance of a hole...
متن کاملMechanisms for ion-induced plasmon excitation in metals
We have studied the excitation of plasmons produced by 100 eV He, Ne and Arand by 5±100 keV H and He projectiles in Al and Mg through the observation of electrons from plasmon decay, ejected from clean and cesiated surfaces. At low velocities, plasmon excitation occurs only for ions of high potential energy and is independent of velocity. The eect of Cs adsorption on this potential plasmo...
متن کاملSimulation of Light-Nanowire Interaction in the TE Mode Using Surface Integral Equations
In this paper, the scattering of a plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave from a nanowire with circular cross-section in the transverse electric (TE) mode is simulated using the well-known Stratton-Chu surface integral equations. For an ordinary dielectric nanowire the refraction phenomenon is nicely simulated. In the case of a plasmonic nanowire no sign of surface plasmon excitation and prop...
