Dv. Klushin et al., EFFECT OF THE LOCAL ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE ON SECONDARY-ION SPECTRA, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 54(10), 1996, pp. 7062-7066
The problem of secondary-ion formation is investigated theoretically a
nd experimentally. The effect of local electronic temperature on the c
ollisional cascade region in the secondary-ion energy spectrum is exam
ined. It is shown that the shift of the maximum of the energy spectrum
with a change of the emission angle is explained well under the assum
ption of local heating of the electronic subsystem followed by cooling
down.
