Recent advances in the generation of well-characterized subfemtosecond laser pulses have
opened up unpredicted opportunities for the real-time observation of ultrafast electronic …

A detailed discussion of the scattering of fast atoms and ions from solid surfaces under a
grazing angle of incidence is presented. Theoretical and experimental results are used to …

Collective electronic excitations at metal surfaces are well known to play a key role in a wide
spectrum of science, ranging from physics and materials science to biology. Here we focus …

We briefly review the contents of this as well as previous volumes of the series Light
Scattering in Solids, and present a chronological account of the International Conference on …

The neutralization of highly charged ions during interaction with metallic surfaces is
accompanied by the ejection of a large number of secondary electrons. Recent experiments …

The present report deals with the main aspects of the interaction of slow (impact velocity
typically below 1 au) multicharged ions (MCI) with atomically clean solid surfaces of metals …

It has long been recognised that the discontinuity in potential at a crystal surface can trap
electrons in a surface state. As early as the 1930's Tamml and Shockleyz showed that …

A model to reproduce inelastic electron scattering cross sections as determined from
reflection-electron-energy-loss experiments is proposed. This model is an extension of …

The wake potential associated with the passage of a swift charged particle through matter in
the vicinity of a solid-vacuum surface is studied. Full results of the wake potential as a …
