Total electron emission yields for impact of 
,
, 
, 
, 
and 
ions (impact energy 2–10
) on clean highly oriented
pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) have been measured. An enhancement in
the electron yield of more than a factor of 2 is found when
comparing results for differently oriented HOPG surfaces
(orientation of the graphite layers with respect to the surface).
By analyzing these data we elucidate the influence of electron
transport on kinetic electron emission and derive
direction-dependent mean escape depths for low-energy electrons.
