Collisions of atoms and ions with surfaces under grazing incidence
TL;DR: In this article, 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 demonstrate that collisions employing this scattering geometry provide interesting new phenomena and insights into atom-surface interactions.

The Low-Energy, Heavy-Particle Collisions–A Close-Coupling Treatment*
Mineo Kimura,Neal F. Lane +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on quantitatively reliable close-coupling treatments of slow and heavy-particle atomic collisions and identify remaining problems with the theory of ion-atom collision models.

Angle resolved electron spectra from grazing incidence He2+/Cu(110) collisions
TL;DR: In this paper, the electron spectra of He2+ with a single crystal Cu(110) surface were obtained for well defined angles of incidence and detection, and from their variation with detection angle the following conclusions were drawn.

Analysis of electron spectra from grazing-incidence collisions of Ar2+ with Pb(111) single-crystal surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the time evolution of the ion-surface system during the slow-approaching of the Ar2+-Pb(111) system, and the analysis in terms of this model yields: (1) an identification of the main electronic states and processes that play a role during the slowly surface approach of the projectile, (2) the absolute distance-dependent probabilities for the main resonant electron exchange and Auger-type processes, (3) the distancedependent population probabilities for electronic states involved.

Theory of Metal Surfaces: Charge Density and Surface Energy
Norton D. Lang,Walter Kohn +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the theory of the inhomogeneous electron gas, with local exchange and correlation energies, was used to obtain self-consistent electron density distributions and the surface energy was found to be negative for high densities, and the resulting surface energy is in semiquantitative agreement with surface-tension measurements for eight simple metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Mg, Zn, Al).

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.

Theory of Metal Surfaces: Induced Surface Charge and Image Potential
Norton D. Lang,Walter Kohn +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the electron density distribution induced at a metal surface by a small static external charge distribution was investigated and the position of the center of mass of a small point charge along the surface normal was determined.

Theory of Auger Neutralization of Ions at the Surface of a Diamond-Type Semiconductor
TL;DR: In this article, the two-electron, Auger-type transitions which occur when an ion of sufficiently large ionization energy is neutralized at the atomically clean surface of a diamond-type semiconductor are discussed.
