Ji. Juaristi et M. Rosler, Atomic number dependence of the forward/backward kinetic electron emissioninduced by slow ions in carbon foils, NUCL INST B, 157(1-4), 1999, pp. 254-258
We present a calculation of the kinetic electron emission induced by slow i
ons based on a nonlinear treatment of the excitation of conduction band ele
ctrons. The dependence on the atomic number of the projectile of the backwa
rd and forward electron yields is analyzed. The results are compared with e
xperimental data obtained on carbon foils. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. A
