Abstract

Convoy electrons produced at glancing angle scattering of MeV H 2 +, H 3 +, HeH + molecular ions from a clean (001) surface of SnTe single crystal are studied. Acceleration of the convoy electrons is observed similarly to the glancing angle scattering of atomic ions. The acceleration is larger than that observed at glancing angle scattering of the atomic ions with the same velocity which constitute the molecular ion. The experimental results are explained in terms of the surface wake induced by Coulomb exploding fragments.
