Electron excitations in metal systems play an important role in many chemical and physical
phenomena. They are of paramount importance for energy transfer in photochemical …

The book describes the experimental techniques employed to study surfaces and interfaces.
The emphasis is on the experimental method. Therefore all chapters start with an …

An overview of high current (> 1 mA) negative hydrogen ion (H–) sources that are currently
used on particle accelerators. The current understanding of how H–ions are produced is …

A wave-packet propagation method is applied to the treatment of the resonant charge
transfer (RCT) process in the interaction between an H− ion and a Cu (111) surface. Using a …

A review is presented on the charge transfer process in atom-metal surface collisions,
focusing on the modifications of this process induced by the presence of adsorbates on the …

The jellium model of free electron gas and its extended version have been widely used to
understand the neutralization of alkali-metal ions on metal surfaces. We report an …

Results of a study of electron transfer processes in the interaction of fluorine and hydrogen
with Ag (111) are reported for a wide range of interaction times. For long interaction times …

This paper deals with a study of H−/D− negative ion surface production on diamond in low
pressure H 2/D 2 plasmas. A sample placed in the plasma is negatively biased with respect …

Nowadays low-energy ion scattering (LEIS) is known as a technique with the best surface
sensitivity. In this paper we consider the surface composition analysis of metallic samples by …

This study addresses the numerical modeling of resonant charge transfer (RCT) during ion-
surface interactions. In our approach we use the original ab initio three-dimensional (3D) …
