We present experimental studies of plasmon excitation by keV Ne and Ar single charged ions on Al surfaces. Plasmons are identified through the characteristic energy spectrum of electrons from plasmon decay. At 1 keV incident energy, surface plasmons are excited by Ne+ but not by Ar+. For higher energies we observe bulk plasmon excitation resulting, most likely, from excitation by fast electrons, such as A1-2p Anger electrons, traveling inside the solid.

Abstract
We present experimental studies of plasmon excitation by keV Ne and Ar single charged ions on Al surfaces. Plasmons are identified through the characteristic energy spectrum of electrons from plasmon decay. At 1 keV incident energy, surface plasmons are excited by Ne+ but not by Ar+. For higher energies we observe bulk plasmon excitation resulting, most likely, from excitation by fast electrons, such as A1-2p Anger electrons, traveling inside the solid.
