Electron emission from diatomic heteronuclear targets by bare ion impact is analysed. Interference patterns are shown to appear in electron angular distributions, which are explained in terms of coherent emission from the proximities of each one of the atomic centers composing the target. The relationship between electron ionization by ion and circularly polarized photon impact is investigated.
