Abstract
The optical line emission from excited Si atoms following SF5+ and Ne ion bombardment of a Si(100) surface was studied. Transients in the p hoton yield due to oxygen pressure variation have been observed. The r esults show evidence of nonlinear sputtering of adsorbed oxygen atoms due to the impact of polyatomic ions.
