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 …

The property of a variable charge state makes ions unique to other types of radiation a
material surface can be exposed to. As a consequence of charge exchange between ions …

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 …

This paper presents a set of complementary corpuscular diagnostics applied in experiments
for investigation of laser-produced plasma as a source of ions. The measuring possibilities …

The impact of a highly charged ion onto a solid gives rise to charge exchange between the
ion and target atoms, so that a slow ion gets neutralized in the vicinity of the surface. Using …

Total low-energy electron yields for the normal incidence interaction of slow, very highly
charged ions (136 Xe q+, 21≤ q≤ 51; Th q+ 232, 51≤ q≤ 80) with a clean gold surface …

K x rays emitted from 2.1 keV/u N 6+ ions passed through a thin Ni microcapillary foil were
measured in coincidence with the exit charge states. Ions with a K hole but with several …

The individual impacts of slow (300 eV/amu) highly charged Xe ions induce nanometer
sized pitlike structures on the KBr (001) surface. The volume of these structures shows a …

We present a simulation for the acceleration of multiply charged ions approaching metal
surfaces by the interaction with its image charge, based on the classical over-barrier model …

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 …
