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 …

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 …

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 …

We have extended the classical over-barrier model to simulate the neutralization dynamics
of highly charged ions interacting under grazing incidence with conducting and insulating …

Final-charge-state distributions of argon ions, scattered grazingly from a smooth highly
oriented pyrolytic graphite surface, have been measured as a function of initial charge state …

We present classical simulations for the energy gain, ΔE, due to the image acceleration of
very highly charged ions (Q≫ 10) by metal surfaces. We show that for large Q the simulated …

We discuss the creation of nano-sized protrusions on insulating surfaces using slow highly
charged ions. This method holds the promise of forming regular structures on surfaces …

For certain target species, sputtering by slow multiply charged ions strongly depends on the
primary ion charge state. In contrast to the usual ballistic sputtering it is not the kinetic but …

We have measured the number statistics of emitted electrons in coincidence with the
projectile scattering angle distribution for multiply charged slow Ar ions scattered off an Au …

We have used the time-of-flight technique to measure the energy loss for 51-keV argon ions
scattered grazingly from a smooth highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface. The energy loss …
