Low-energy ion scattering (LEIS) is an analytical tool that provides information on the atomic
composition of the outer surface, when noble gas ions are used as projectiles. In fact …

Liquids and solids are condensed phases and form interfaces. Due to minimization of the
surface energy, the composition of a surface often differs from that of the bulk of a substance …

In low-energy ion scattering the contribution of neutralization processes to the scattered ion
yield is very important in quantification. Neutralization of low-energy (1–3.5 keV) He+ ions by …

For quantitative analysis in Low Energy Ion Scattering (LEIS), elemental sensitivity factors
are needed. Here, these factors are presented for 1 keV He+ scattering from a number of …

Low‐energy noble‐gas ion scattering (LEIS) probes the outermost atomic layer of a material,
but a quantitative compositional analysis of this layer is not straightforward. It is …

Abstract Low-energy (0.1-10 keV) ion scattering (LEIS) is used for the determination of the
atomic composition and structure of oxide surfaces. Its extreme surface sensitivity enables …

The influence of adsorbate-induced work function changes on the neutralization of noble
gas and Li+ ions scattered from a Ni (100) surface was studied. The resonance …

The work function dependence of the neutralization of low-energy He+, Ne+, and Ar+ ions
was studied by determining the neutralization probability of ions scattered from …

The signal intensity in low‐energy ion scattering depends, among others, on the kinetic
energy of the scattered ions. The measured energy dependence is a combination of the …

Ions which carry potential and kinetic energy to a solid surface cause interactions through
electronic and collisional processes. These occur with high probabilities and can be used to …
