We studied experimentally the mechanism of SEE incluced by fast light ions
from the both surfaces of metal foil targets. We measured the coefficient of SEE
from the beam entrance (gF) and exit
surfaces (gB) of Al, Cu, Ni targets
bombarded by a-particles with the same energy. It was
experimentally shown that the coefficient
R =gF /
gB was estimated to be 1.69±7% for
the materials under study. Thus, the flux of the energy transferred from fast
ions to the medium electrons moving in the forward direction is 1.7 times as much as
in the backward direction.
