Inelastic scattering of molecules from a liquid polymer surface.

Analyzes the scattering of CF[sup +] and CF[sup +][sub 2] ions from a perfluoropolyether on the basis of the conservation laws of energy and momentum. Conservation of momentum and energy; Energy partitioning; Treatment of ion-surface collisions as binary collisions between the primary ions and a representative group of the perfluoropolyether molecule.
