Abstract
The ionization probabilities of particles emitted from a silver (111) surface after bombardment with 5‐keV silver atoms are calculated by means of a hybrid computer simulation model combining molecular dynamics with kinetic electronic excitation. The simulations produce a four‐dimensional electron excitation profile parameterized by an effective electron temperature which is then used to calculate an individual ionization probability α+ for each sputtered atom. The results demonstrate the significant role of the time structure of the electron temperature profile. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
