Electron emission and exciton production of LiF surfaces by grazing impact of hydrogen neutral atoms

We put forward an alternative mechanism to understand the physics underlying the electron emission and exciton formation occurring during grazing collision of neutral hydrogen on LiF(001) surfaces. Instead of visualizing the negative ion formation as the precursor, we propose the formation of excite...

Sumario:We put forward an alternative mechanism to understand the physics underlying the electron emission and exciton formation occurring during grazing collision of neutral hydrogen on LiF(001) surfaces. Instead of visualizing the negative ion formation as the precursor, we propose the formation of excited H(n=2) as a catalyzer to produce excitons and electrons. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
