The ionization probability of an atom scattered from an atom adsorbed on a metal surface has been studied theoretically within the time-dependent Anderson-Newns model. The effect of the metal electron density of states, the band filling as well as the relative position of the scattered atom and adsorbed atom energy levels have been considered and the comparison with the results obtained for clean surfaces has been made.
