Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 3160–3161 (1990)Acceleration of convoy electrons by surface image chargeReceived 20 June 1990; published in the issue dated 17 December 1990 The energy distribution of the convoy electrons produced by fast highly charged ions is studied with classical-trajectory Monte Carlo calculation. We found that, in the case of small-angle incidence, the convoy peak is shifted to higher energy because of the anisotropy of the electron velocity distribution which is caused by the image potential of the incident ion. © 1990 The American Physical Society URL:
