Proton-induced kinetic plasmon excitation in Al and Mg
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report energy distributions of electrons emitted from Al and Mg surfaces bombarded by 3–100-keV/amu hydrogen and deuterium ions. The energy spectra contain structure consistent with the decay of bulk plasmons, even below the velocity threshold expected from current theories. To explain the results we compare the importance of additional mechanisms involving electron capture, lattice-assisted excitation, and excitation by fast secondary electrons. @S0163-1829~99!02423-6#

Mechanisms 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 Surface Plasmon Excitation in a Plasmonic Nano-Wire Using Surface Integral Equations
In this paper, scattering of a plane and monochromatic electromagnetic wave from a nano-wire is simulated using surface integral equations. First, integral equationsgoverning unknown fields on the surface is obtained based on Stratton-Cho surface integral equations. Then, the interaction of the wave with a non-plasmonic as well as a palsmonic nano-wire is considered. It is shown that in scatter...
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 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 کاملBulk and surface plasmon excitation in the interaction of Heþ with Mg surfaces
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 da...
