Possible ionization of mercury atoms by elastic reflection in hyperthermal surface ionization experiments

An elastic collision model baed on data given by Danon et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 2038 (1990)] was used to calculate the ionization potential of mercury atoms (V′) at the critical charge transfer distance as a function of the kinetic energy of the atoms (E). The linear dependence V′(E) obtained supports the model of surface ionization of mercury atoms by elastic reflection from a surface.
