Experiments are described in which the energy distributions of positive and negative secondary ions are measured for four elements (Si, Fe, Cu, Ta) under Cs+ and Xe+ bombardment. It is shown that the energy dependence of the ratio of two corresponding energy distributions, calculated point by point is in very good agreement with the potential law of energy. With the help of these results the surface ionization model of Šroubek is examined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
