Abstract

In both sputtering and medium-energy electron-atom impact, the inelastic energy transfer, ΔEe, should have a similar distribution, dN/d(ΔEe) α 1/(ΔEe)2. This suggests that the relative populations of excited states may be similar for each type of experiment and, in order to test this idea, previously published results for the formation of SiI, SiII, and SiIII in sputtering and for the formation of RbI, RbII, and RbIII in electron-atom impact are compared with theory based on an inverse square distribution of ΔEe. Agreement between experiment and theory is found to be good over the entire 55–60 eV span of excitation energies.
