✦ Synopsis


Electron loss and electron emission for grazing impact of noble gas atoms with energies in the keV domain are investigated via timeof-flight spectra recorded in coincidence with the number of emitted electrons. The data is analyzed in terms of computer simulations concerning the interaction of the fast atoms with the electron gas in the selvedge of the Al(1 1 1) surface. The interaction is approximated by binary collisions of the fast atoms with Fermi electrons of the conduction band and differential cross sections obtained for electron scattering from free atoms. For an effective number of collisions of about 50 the energy loss spectra are fairly well reproduced by our calculations. We show that for our conditions the shift of the energy spectra for the emission of an additional electron from the surface is close to the work function of the target.

The energy loss of He atoms with energies E 6 28 keV scattered from Al(1 1 1) under a grazing angle of incidence is recorded in coincidence with the number of electrons emitted in the collision. From our data we deduce the mean energies for emission of a specific number of electrons during impact of

Charge fractions after scattering of Ne + ions, Ne 0 atoms and Ar + ions with keV energies under a grazing angle of incidence from an atomically clean and flat Al(1 1 1) surface are studied. For incoming Ne + ions we observe defined ion fractions in the scattered beams, whereas for incident Ne 0 ato
