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 …

A joint experimental and theoretical study of energy loss is presented for 1-to-4-keV fluorine
negative ions in grazing scattering on a missing-row reconstructed Au (110) surface …

The Demkov model fails to explain the formation of negative ions in grazing scattering of
atoms from insulator surfaces at relatively high velocities, since the electron detachment …

In the scattering and stopping of heavy ions on a few surface layers in solids, contributions of
the electronic and nuclear energy losses can become comparable. In this work we present a …

This chapter presents an overview of low energy ion scattering spectroscopy and time of
flight scattering and recoiling spectroscopy for the study of the structure and composition of …

When atomic particles traverse solids they suffer energy losses due to elastic scattering from
nuclei and excitation of electron–hole pairs. These are referred to as nuclear and electronic …

This progress report focuses on recent work on energy losses undergone by keV slow ions
through crystals and on solid surfaces. We treat cases where strong corrugations of the …

In this chapter, we will provide the theoretical foundations on which the local-density friction
approximation (LDFA) is based and examples of its application to gas–surface interaction …

Li+ and Na+ ions are scattered from Au (1 1 0) and Au (1 1 1) surfaces in the keV-energy
range, respectively. The pronounced Li° and Na° fractions non-monotonically vary with …

Measurements of energy-losses and electron transfer processes in 1–4 keV fluorine ions
and atoms scattering on clean and oxygen covered Ag (1 1 0) were studied. We report data …
