Abstract
The charge transfer problem between metal surfaces and moving atoms is investigated in the time-dependent Newns-Anderson model. Exact calculations are performed for a small system with 8 electrons. The intra-atomic Coulomb interaction is treated without approximations. The results are compared with those of the Hartree-Fock approximation. From the comparison, we see that the Hartree-Fock approximation provides rather good results for the atom-velocity dependence except for its prefactor, but for the fraction of negative ion, the electron correlation effect on the atom seems essential.
