Deposition and re-emission of potential energy - Extended dynamical COB simulation

We present results of a numerical computer simulation based on the extended dynamical classical over the barrier model (EDCOM). To get an energy balance for the transferred potential energy of the highly charged ions (HCIs) to the solid surface, we apply an additional extension of the model evaluating the energy loss of Auger electrons which are generated during the relaxation of the HCI. From the results of the simulation we can distinguish between the potential energy deposited in the nuclear system due to image charge acceleration of the incoming HCI and the potential energy which is released over Auger processes. Further, we break down this energy into that which is deposited in the solid and that which is re-emitted due to escaping secondary electrons.
