H. Winter et al., CHARGE-STATE DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER THE SCATTERING OF FAST HE-IONS FROM AN AL (111) SURFACE UNDER A GRAZING ANGLE OF INCIDENCE(), Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 135(1-4), 1998, pp. 372-376
He+-ions with energies from 3 keV to 1.4 MeV are scattered from a clea
n and flat Al (1 1 1)-surface under a grazing angle of incidence, and
the scattered projectiles are analyzed with respect to charge states.
We observe defined kinematic thresholds for the formation of He+ - as
well as of He2+ - ions which are in agreement with the onset of a kine
matically induced Auger-ionization process. Comparison of our data wit
h foil transmission experiments shows a clearly different dependence o
f the charge state fractions on the projectile energy (velocity). (C)
