Slow Heavy-Particle Induced Electron Emission from Solid Surfaces [electronic resource] / by Hannspeter Winter, Joachim Burgdȵrfer.

Theoretical Concepts and Methods for Electron Emission from Solid Surfaces -- Photon and Electron Induced Electron Emission from Solid Surfaces -- Potential Electron Emission from Metal and Insulator Surfaces -- Kinetic Electron Emission for Grazing Scattering of Atoms and Ions from Surfaces -- Spin Polarization of Electrons Emitted in the Neutralization of He+ Ions in Solids -- Electron Emission from Surfaces Mediated by Ion-Induced Plasmon Excitation -- Slow Ion-Induced Electron Emission from Thin Insulating Films.

The emission of electrons from solid surfaces bombarded by slow neutral and ionized heavy particles (atoms, molecules) is reviewed both theoretically and in the light of recent experimental studies by leading groups in the field: Kinetic emission from grazing incidence of atoms and kinetic and potential emission from grazing incidence of singly and multiply charged ions on monocrystalline metal and insulator surfaces; modelling of slow electron transport in solids; emission of spin-polarized electrons by ion neutralization; electron emission from slow ion induced plasmons and excitons.
