X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies of nickel-oxygen surfaces using oxygen and argon ion-bombardment
Kyung Sook Kim,Nicholas Winograd +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface chemistry of the nickel-oxygen system using both temperature changes and ion bombardment as techniques for elucidating the surface structure was studied using both X-ray photoelectron lines and the Auger transitions.

Low-energy ion scattering at surfaces
TL;DR: The field of low-energy ion scattering for surface interactions at metals, alloys, catalysts and semiconductors is reviewed in this article, where the basic principles, classical scattering theory, the effect of shadowing and blocking, and some of the computer simulation programs are briefly described.

Surface composition analysis by low-energy ion scattering
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of surface composition analysis by low-energy ion scattering (LEIS) is presented, where the authors summarize the present understanding of the factors that determine the ion fraction of the scattered particles in LEIS, i.e. charge exchange processes.

ESCA studies of metal-oxygen surfaces using argon and oxygen ion-bombardment
TL;DR: In this paper, a model based on bulk thermodynamic free energy considerations is proposed to explain the sputtering of metal-oxygen surfaces following exposure to Ar + and O 2 + ion bombardment.

Theory of Auger Ejection of Electrons from Metals by Ions
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of the Auger transition is presented in which the form of the distribution in energy and relative total yield of ejected electrons are derived, and the effects of variation of atomic energy levels near the metal surface and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle makes it possible to account in detail for the experimentally observed energy distributions as well as the variation of these and of ion kinetic energy.

Analysis of Materials by Electron‐Excited Auger Electrons
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy spectra of Auger electrons emitted from many elements and alloys have been observed, and differentiation of the secondary electron energy distribution by perturbation and synchronous detection techniques, and suppression of the effects of low-energy secondaries, were used to obtain well-defined spectra.

Defect studies in crystals by means of channeling
TL;DR: In this paper, fast, light ions (e.g. protons and α particles) in crystals containing displaced atoms are discussed on the basis of Lindhard's theory, with the particular purpose of applying channeli...
