Abstract
We have measured electron-stimulated desorption of neutral lithium atoms from LiF at energies near the band gap of the crystal. The significant contribution to the desorption yield of neutral alkali-metal atoms due to the creation of surface excitons is resolved. These measurements also prove the theoretically expected threshold for desorption at the energy of the bulk exciton.
