Abstract
We present a new series of experiments on the interaction of highly charged ions with thin films. The main goal concerns the investigation of the interplay between the projectile and the surface electronic structure. The dynamics of the hollow atom is analyzed through high-resolution Auger electron spectroscopy. LiF and C60 thin films have been investigated; the results from LiF permit definite conclusion on the respective role of the band gap and the binding energy in bulk LiF during the projectile neutralization and relaxation. Results from C60 raise new questions on the actual nature of the processes responsible for the fast filling of the projectile L-shell.
