Results of electron‐stimulated desorption of positive ions measured by the time‐of‐flight method from thin NaCl layers deposited onto Si(111) crystal are presented. The kinetic‐energy distribution of Na + is characterized by at least a double‐peak structure suggesting desorption by the wave packet squeezing process, proposed recently for Li + desorption from LiF. Moreover, a delayed Na + signal is observed, indicating desorption of core‐excited Na ** atoms being in metastable autoionizing states.
