THEORETICAL CALCULATIONS OF ENERGY-TRANSFER FROM NOBLE-GASES TO SURFACES

Using the bipartition model of ion transport in a solid, we have calculated the energy reflection coefficients R(E) or equivalently the energy deposition coefficients F(E) for the ion-target combinations of He-Si, He-Cu, He-Ag, He-Au, Ar-Ag, Ar-Au, and Xe-Au. To test the validity of the theoretical method, we compared our results with corresponding experimental data and Monte Carlo data. The comparison shows that the results of the bipartition model reach a reasonable agreement with experimental data and Monte Carlo data.
