β¦ Synopsis
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 atoms ion fractions are more than one order of magnitude smaller. This experimental result provides clear evidence for a survival of Ne + ions over the whole scattering event.
From the dependence of ion fractions on the perpendicular energy component we derive neutralization rates as function of distance from the surface. These rates compare well with recent theoretical calculations for the system He + -Al(1 1 1). For incident Ar + ions no survival of ions is found and upper limits for the survival probability and lower limits for the neutralization rate are determined.

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
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 f
