Influence of the surface band structure on electron emission spectra from metal surfaces

Electron distributions produced by grazing impact of fast protons on Mg(0001), Cu(111), Ag(111), and Au(111) surfaces are investigated, focusing on the effects of the electronic band structure. The process is described within the band-structure-based approximation, which is a perturbative method tha...
