A laser
ionization spectrometer designed for studying the atomization of
metallic surfaces is presented. First experiments on polycrystalline
nickel bombarded by 15 keV Ar+ ions are
reported. The sputtered neutral atoms are selectively excited and
ionized using resonance ionization spectroscopy. A comparison is made
between the two step‐one colour and the two step‐two colour schemes. The
influence of autoionizing states on the ionization process is
discussed. © 1995 American Institute of Physics
