Abstract
The results of recent experimental studies of the degree of positive ionization of clusters sputtered from a number of metal surfaces by keV-ion bombardment are analyzed in terms of an earlier proposed model. The model assumes that in addition to electron exchange, there exists another mechanism of cluster ionization – thermionic emission of electrons from clusters. The calculations qualitatively reproduce the experimental data.
