Abstract
Convoy electrons produced at glancing-angle scattering of MeV H, He, Li, and C ions from a clean (001) surface of SnTe single crystal are studied. Acceleration of the convoy electrons is observed. The observed acceleration increases with increasing atomic number of the projectile ion as predicted by the surface-wake-acceleration model. The classical-trajectory Monte Carlo simulation is performed with the surface-wake-acceleration model in order to study the acceleration of the convoy electrons. The agreement between the calculated results and the experimental ones is reasonably good.
