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 …

This work discusses studies of electron emissions during the interaction of low energy (in the
keV energy range and below) singly charged ions with Aluminum surfaces. Analysis of the …

We scattered 0.45–5 keV Ne+ ions at Al surfaces, performing angle resolved measurements
of electron spectra from autoionizing decay of excitations in the scattered projectiles …

We report on measurements of the energy distribution of electrons emitted by Aluminum
surfaces under the impact of low energy singly charged Neon ions, focusing on Auger decay …

Ion-induced kinetic electron emission is commonly attributed to collisions of an energetic
projectile with quasifree electrons, and to the promotion of atomic levels in binary collisions …

We report a study on single scattering of 500–1950-eV Ne+ ions from a Si surface. Our
results show a sharp increase in the inelastic energy loss suffered by backscattered Ne+ for …

We performed experiments of electron emission in the interaction of singly charged Na+ and
Ne+ with Al surfaces. We compare Auger emission from sodium and neon projectiles excited …

We measured spectra of low energy electrons emitted in the interaction of singly charged
Ne+ ions with the Mg surface at incident ion energies ranging from 50 eV to 4 keV. The study …

We address the long standing issue of the dominant excitation of the triplet 2p 4 (3 P) 3s 2
state in the scattering of Neon projectiles from Magnesium, Aluminum and Silicon surfaces …

This work addresses the issue of the anomalous neutralization of slow sodium ions at
aluminum surfaces by measuring spectra of Auger electrons emitted by collisionally excited …
