Helium atom scattering from oxide surfaces.
Many experimental methods of surface science employ electrons or photons of considerable incident energy as probe particles. However, insulating surfaces or delicate physisorbed layers may be damaged by these particles and should, therefore, be analyzed with a gentler probe: He atom scattering allows to determine the symmetry of the unit cell and the detection of phase transitions from diffract...
متن کاملSurface Structure of Bi(111) from Helium Atom Scattering Measurements. Inelastic Close-Coupling Formalism
Elastic and inelastic close-coupling (CC) calculations have been used to extract information about the corrugation amplitude and the surface vibrational atomic displacement by fitting to several experimental diffraction patterns. To model the three-dimensional interaction between the He atom and the Bi(111) surface under investigation, a corrugated Morse potential has been assumed. Two differen...
متن کاملDifferential and partial cross sections of elastic and inelastic positronium-helium-atom scattering
Scattering of positronium (Ps) by helium atom has been investigated in a three-Ps-state coupled-channel model including Ps(1s,2s,2p) states using a recently proposed time-reversal-symmetric regularized electron-exchange model potential. Specifically, we report results of differential cross sections for elastic scattering and target-elastic Ps excitations. We also present results for total and d...
متن کاملKinematical rainbow and elastic focusing effects in atom-surface scattering
In this work two general anomalous singularity effects in elastic surface diffraction are reported. First, a kinematical rainbow ~KR! condition, a special case of the well-known rainbow singularity, is examined and shown to be a two-dimensional counterpart of the glory effect in gas-phase scattering. Second, an elastic focusing ~EF! effect is presented as the elastic counterpart of a general ef...
متن کاملInelastic multiphonon helium scattering from a stepped Ni„977... surface
The multiphonon energy exchange between a neutral He atom and a stepped Ni~977! surface has been measured in order to examine how the presence of a regular array of atomic-scale steps on a surface modifies energy exchange in the classical multiphonon scattering regime. At elevated substrate temperatures, we compare the multiphonon scattering with the predictions of a classical theory that has p...
