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 …

Thehollow atom'(HA) is the latest and probably most exotic creation of atomic collision
physics. HA are short-lived multiply-excited neutral atoms which carry a large part of their Z …

We report unprecedented transmission experiments of 3 keV Ne 7+ ions through capillaries
of 100 nm diameter and 10 μ m length produced by etching ion tracks in a polymer foil. We …

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 …

The recently discovered phenomenon of potential sputtering, ie, the efficient removal of
neutral and ionized target particles from certain insulator surfaces due to the potential rather …

Thin polycrystalline LiF films have been bombarded by slow (≤ 1 keV) multicharged Ar q+
ions (q≤ 9), in order to study the resulting total sputter yields by means of a quartz crystal …

The theoretical investigation of time-dependent quantum systems requires the solution of the
time-dependent Schrödinger (Dirac) equation. The basis generator method presented here …

Analytic expressions for a multiple-cascade model were derived to study the filling of L and
K vacancies of hollow Ne atoms moving in shallow layers of an Al surface. The model …

Image charge effects on the trajectories of fast ions during the grazing scattering from a solid
surface are discussed. It is shown that these effects can be made use of in detailed studies …

Electronic processes, during the scattering of fast atoms and ions from the surface of an
insulator, are characterized by a variety of interesting features. Recent studies show that the …
