Abstract
The observation of electrons emitted with up to 40% of the energy of a n ion bombarding a solid surface [R.A. Baragiola et al., Phys. Rev. A 45 (1992) 5286] is analyzed theoretically in terms of a Fermi-shuttle mechanism. We find nearly exponential energy spectra for the emitted e lectrons. While the dependence of the slope on the bombarding conditio ns is in agreement with experiment, its numerical value differs by two orders of magnitude: the calculated spectra are systematically steepe r than the experimental spectra.
