Abstract

A brief description of studies of the atom-surface interaction using density-functional methods is given. The ionization probability of atoms sputtered from metal surfaces is then discussed using results of these studies in conjunction with a resonant tunnelling approach. Good agreement of this theory with experimental data of Yu on the sputtering of adsorbed alkali atoms is obtained.
