Popis: | Measurements are reported of the low-energy electron emission spectrum from a solid titanium target bombarded with Ar and Kr ions with energies in the range 2 keV to 5 keV. The ion-induced electron spectrum shows considerable structure which is not present in electron-beam-excited spectra. The ion-induced spectrum is interpreted as arising from atoms sputtered free of the surface in excited states. However, comparison with the free-atom electron spectrum shows both similarities and significant differences. Possible excitation processes are discussed and tentative labels assigned to the observed peaks. |
