Description: This Thesis describes studies of the collision of low energy hydrogen and other ions with metal surfaces (Tungsten, Tantalum etc) in a UHV system. Mass and energy analysis of primary beam and secondary positive and negative emitted ions showed peak and tail distributions from ions reflected at the surface, re-emitted after multiple internal collisions, and buried atoms from previous history of ion bombardment.
Theory of secondary ion emission is also presented.
