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 …

Electron and energy transfer processes between an atom or molecule and a surface are
extremely important for many applications in physics and chemistry. Therefore a profound …

Time-Of-Flight Low-energy ion scattering (TOF-LEIS) experiments were performed for He+
ions scattered from Cu (100) and Cu0. 5Au0. 5 (100). Probabilities for resonant …

Charge exchange processes in low energy ion scattering are analyzed and some case
study systems (H and He scattered off metals) are discussed in detail. For the He+/Al system …

We explore under which conditions low-energy ion scattering experiments are capable of
obtaining reliable quantitative results in surface composition analysis. Additionally, we …

We develop a theory of the Auger neutralization rate of ions on solid surfaces in which the
matrix elements for the transition are calculated by means of a linear combination of atomic …

Charge exchange of 4He+ and 3He+ ions with surfaces of polycrystalline aluminium and Al
(111) was investigated in the low-energy ion scattering (LEIS) regime. Ion spectra were …

A generalized theory of Auger electron transfer processes in the interaction of ions with
metal surfaces, including the previously ignored role of d electrons is presented. It is shown …

He atoms and ions with keV energies are scattered under grazing angles of incidence from
Al (111), Al (100), and Al (110) surfaces. Fractions of surviving ions and normal energy gains …

Projectile time-of-flight spectra and the number of emitted electrons have been determined
in coincidence for grazing scattering of slow (0.45 ke V/u) multiply charged Ar ions from an …
