Abstract
A brief introduction is given to recent work showing that Auger decay of low-lying core-holes is a fundamental mechanism leading to desorption of ions from surfaces. I introduce the important concepts, show how they are verified experimentally and how they lead to laws governing the resistance of ionic surfaces to damage by ionizing radiation. Problem areas for future research are noted, particularly the importance of establishing the connection between valence hole localization and ion emission.
