Ion-induced electron emission from crystalline solids

by Hiroshi Kudō

This monograph deals with ion-induced electron emission from crystalline solids bombarded by fast ions. During the past decade, electron spectroscopy combined with the ion channeling technique has revealed various "messages" about ion-solid and electron-solid interactions that are carried by the emitted electrons. In addition, the book describes the underlying physics and experimental techniques. It will provide useful information for students and scientists working in ion-beam-based research and development in various areas of atomic and solid-state physics, materials science, and surface science.
