Abstract
Equivalent relative populations of Znl levels of similar lifetime and small cascade contribution in arc, sputtering, and single collision sources are demonstrated, and imply that the physical basis of the Andersen and Hinthorne theory is only one possible description of the excitation mechanism operative during sputtering.Keywords
