Abstract
We have studied charge exchange between fast atoms/ions and the surfac e of an insulator. Based on investigations on the formation of negativ e hydrogen, oxygen and fluorine ions in the grazing scattering from a clean and flat LiF(100) surface, we discuss specific features of the i nteraction of fast atomic projectiles with the surface of an insulator . Under specific kinematic conditions large fractions of negative ions are observed.
