Abstract
Convoy electrons produced at glancing-angle incidence of MeV H, He, Li and C ions on a SnTe(001) surface are studied. Acceleration of the co nvoy electrons is observed. The acceleration increases with increasing atomic number of the projectile ion and with decreasing ion energy, i n harmony with the surface-wake-acceleration model. The acceleration o f convoy electrons by the surface wake is calculated with a classical- trajectory Monte Carlo simulation. The calculated results reproduce th e characteristic features of the observed convoy electrons showing the validity of the surface-wake-acceleration model.
