The role of atomic collisions in kinetic electron emission from Al surfaces by slow ions
We measured energy distributions of electrons emitted in the interaction of slow Kr and Na with Al surfaces. The data allow to correlate emission intensities with spectral signatures of electron excitation processes. Our results indicate that electron promotion processes leading to the excitation of Al target atoms plays the dominating role in kinetic electron emission from Al surfaces by slow ...
متن کاملPlasmon excitation and electron promotion in the interaction of slow Na ions with Al surfaces
We studied the energy distributions of electrons emitted in the interaction of slow Na ions with polycrystalline Al surfaces. To study sub-threshold plasmon excitation we performed measurements as a function of emission angle which showed the excitation of bulk plasmons, confirming the kinetic nature of the excitation process. Electron spectra show narrow transition lines due to Auger decay in ...
متن کاملKinetic electron emission in the interactions of slow ions with MgO surfaces
We report experimental energy distributions and yields of electrons emitted from MgO surfaces under the impact of slow noble gas and sodium singly charged ions at varying incident energies. At impact energies below 1 keV, electron spectra are nearly independent of ion type and energy. A tail of highenergy electrons is observed to grow at higher impact energies. The results are explained in term...
متن کاملIdentification of mechanisms of ion induced electron emission by factor analysis
Introducing the use of the Factor Analysis method to analyze electron emission spectra we identify different mechanisms for electron emission from clean Al surfaces under bombardment by Ar and Li ions. The analysis of the energy electron emission distributions and their dependence on incoming ion energy allows separation of the direct contribution of Auger neutralization from that of plasmon de...
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...
