Abstract
Metal surfaces (Mg, Cu, Zr, Mo) are bombarded with He +, Ne + and Ar + in the energy range of 400 eV to 8 keV. Radiation from scattered projectiles and sputtered target particles is observed between 200 and 700 nm. It is shown that most of the radiating particles originate from surface collisions. Auger neutralization, resonance tunneling and direct electron transitions are the important electronic processes involved.
