Description

A new class of inelastic collisional processes accounts for the electron spectra of ion-bombarded sodium halide surfaces. These spectra indicate that the deexcitation process consists of a sequence of lattice-ion collisions in which localized electron transfer occurs. Such collisional processes demonstrate how collisions can initiate electronic change in molecular compounds and that electron-transfer processes must play an essential role in chemistry activated by energetic collisions
