Abstract
The nuclear orientation of14N is investigated after the scattering of14N+ ions with energies ranging from 7 to 350 keV from an Si(111)-surface under grazing angles of incidence. For projectile energies above 50 keV, we find a constant nuclear orientationP 1=〈I z 〉/I∼22%, whereas towards lower energiesP I shows a pronounced decrease. Our measurements provide important information in the application of surface scattering to obtain nuclear polarized beams.
