K. Kimura et al., RESONANT COHERENT EXCITATION OF SURFACE PLANAR CHANNELED B4+ IONS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 135(1-4), 1998, pp. 419-423
The resonant coherent excitation (RCE) of surface planar channeled B4 ions from n = 1 to n = 2 on a SnTe (0 0 1) surface is observed at var
ious azimuthal angles through the reduction of the B4+ fraction which
is caused by the ionization of the excited B4+ ions. The observed reso
nance energy agrees with the calculated result except for a systematic
shift of about 100 keV. This systematic shift agrees with the energy
loss of the surface channeled ions, indicating that the observed RCE o
ccurs mainly in the outgoing trajectory. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V
