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 …

Recently, plasma etching has become one of the most promising polishing methods due to
its low cost and environmental friendliness. In this study, the mechanism and parametric …

Low energy ion scattering (LEIS) was employed for the analysis of thin films of Mo, Ru, Hf, Al
and their oxides. Measurements with different He+ energies showed that the characteristic …

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 …

The neutralization process of an ion particle on a surface is key issue of the plasma-wall
interaction (PWI). We investigated helium (He) ion injection onto a tungsten surface using …

Investigating possible crystal effects in ion scattering from elemental surfaces,
measurements of the positive ion fraction P+ are reported for He+ ions scattered from single …

Experiments to deduce ion fractions P+ of He+ ions scattered from Ag (110) and various Au
surfaces in the low-energy ion scattering (LEIS) energy regime (0.6–9 keV) were performed …

A comparative study of Auger neutralization (AN) of He ions at noble metal surfaces is
presented in order to reveal how the electronic structure of the sample influences this charge …

A joint experimental and theoretical study of energy loss is presented for 1-to-4-keV fluorine
negative ions in grazing scattering on a missing-row reconstructed Au (110) surface …
