Production of Short-Wavelength (XUV) Photons from Ion-Laser-Excited-Surface Charge Exchange: Li(3+), He(+) + Si(111) Systems.

Abstract

Semiclassical calculations are carried out for the probabilities of electron transfer for Li3+ and He+ ions colliding with a Si(111) surface, where a laser is used to excite electrons in silicon from the valence band to surface states. It is shown that with a moderate-power laser, hgh inversion densities of Li2+ and He+ can be obtained, as necessary for high gain. (Author)
