    Abstract

    The scattered-ion yield as a function of the incident energy is found to be a smooth function for some ion-solid combinations (e.g. He+→Ni, Cu; Ne+→Y, Zr, Cu, Fe) while pronounced oscillations are observed for other combinations (e.g. He+→Pb, Bi; Ne+→Pt, Pb, Ta, Au). The influence of angles of incidence and scattering has been studiedfor He+→Bi to investigate further the origin of the resonances. The importance of Auger neutralisation, resonance tunneling and quasi-resonance charge exchange processes is discussed.
