Recent research has been concerned with the interaction between charged particles and solid surfaces in several fields of physics. Especially, collective excitations near the surface play an important role in particle-surface collisions (e. g. image force, energy loss, surface resonant state) . A systematic review of the interaction between charged particles and collective modes near the surface is made, and some examples or topics are taken in this review; image-induced surface state, inelastic scattering of fast charged particles, effective interactions between ion-pairs at the surface (surface wake potential), etc.
