Abstract

This study investigates the electron transfer during lateral collisions between H− projectiles and Ag(111) surfaces with Na adsorbates. These interactions aim to probe the nearside region of the adsorbate. Compared to the on-top configuration, the lateral projected density of states reveals strong local effects such as perturbations of energy levels, adsorbate-induced states not identifiable from on-top, and image states enhancement. A study of dynamics reveals that, in addition to the projectile’s distance of closest approach and interaction time with surface, the projectile’s survival is influenced by the balance between electron capture and loss at the start of the exit trajectory.
