Anattempt to find the radiation from Agatomssputteredduringion bombardment as a result of Silsbee's effect was made. In spite of strong corpuscular emission along (1 IO), (101). (011). (113, (121) and (211) directions no photon emission from these atoms was observed within the limitsofexperimental error. On theother hand, the Ag atomssputtered from the Ag( 11 1) surface due to random atomic collisionsappeared to be a source of intensive radiation. Thelinear polarizationrateofthe lightequalszero within thelimitsof error. Some conclusions on the mechanism of excitation are drawn.
