Classical binary-encounter calculations using a Hartree-Fock velocity distribution for the bound electrons have been carried out for electron-impact ionization of alkali metals. The effect of inner-shell ionization, as well as the excitation of some autoionizing levels, has been included. A satisfactory agreement with recent experimental observations has been achieved.
