Abstract
Using a molecular dynamics technique we demonstrate that the formation of holes in the d-shell can be a mechanism initiating sputtering of metastable metal atoms with a closed outer s-shell. The formation of d-holes is a result of electron promotion in the energetic collisions in the cascade developing in solid under fast ion bombardment.
