K-shell X-ray spectra of Al were measured by the interaction of 600–3400 keV Xeq+(q= 12–29) ions with Al surface. The X-ray yields per incident ion were deduced and theK-shell ionization cross-sections were obtained from the experimental yield data. With the same incident energy, theK-shell ionization cross-sections of Al excited by Xeq+(q<26) ions were of the same order of magnitude, while forq= 26 and 29 Xe ion collisions, they were, respectively, about two and ten times larger. Taking into account the binding-energy-modification and the recoil effect of target atoms, the binary encounter approximation (BEA) theory was consistent with the experimental data forq<26 Xe ion collisions, but it underestimated those excited byq= 26 and 29 Xe ions. This indicates that theK-shell ionization of target induced by Xeq+(q<26) ions was mainly due to the direct Coulomb excitation. However forq= 26 and 29 Xe ions collisions, the transfer of 3dvacancies of projectile to the 1sorbital of target via rotational coupling of the 3dπ,δ-3dσmolecular orbitals, which were formed in the ion-atom quasi-molecule, may cause a considerable contribution to the enhancement of ionization. In addition to the well known Auger and X-ray transition, our experiments proved that the molecular orbital transition (“side-feeding”) mechanism is also a significant channel for de-excitation of hollow atoms formed below the surface.
