The mechanisms of sputtering of nanoparticles embedded in the solid matrix under ion bombardment are presented. The mechanism of sputtering by multicharged ions is based on the increase of the potential energy associated with the Coulomb interaction of charges. It is shown that the increase of the lifetimes of holes formed under ionization of the material in the track of the nanoparticles enlarges...
