This monograph deals with ion-induced electron emission from crystalline solids bombarded by fast ions. During the past decade, electron spectroscopy combined with the ion channeling technique has revealed various "messages" about ion-solid and electron-solid interactions that are carried by the emitted electrons. In addition, the book describes the underlying physics and experimental techniques. It will provide useful information for students and scientists working in ion-beam-based research and development in various areas of atomic and solid-state physics, materials science, and surface...

This monograph deals with ion induced electron emission from crystalline solids bombarded by fast ions. During the past decade, electron spectroscopy combined with the ion channeling technique has revealed various "messages" about ion solid and electron solid interactions carried by the emitted elec trons. While the ion induced electrons produced by binary encounter pro cesses are of primary interest in this book, closely related topics such as the emission of ion induced Auger electrons from crystal targets are also reviewed, with emphasis on their interdisciplinary aspects, for example,...
