von-Kbrm'an scattering on surface Using correlation coefficients calculated i p the Born model, the temperature variation of low energy ion spectra is shown to be capable of giving information Debye temperatures but not on detailed aspects of surface phonons.

Zone edge focused two - phonon processes in He atom scattering from a simple prototype system : Xe ( 111 )
We present a theoretical analysis of the multiphonon features appearing in the angular and energy resolved scattering spectra of low energy He atoms inelastically scattered from surface phonons. By applying the recently developed fully quantum multiphonon scattering formalism to the benchmark system Xe(111) we are able to reproduce with great accuracy the experimental data and also demonstrate ...
متن کاملImpact of Various Beam Parameters on Lateral Scattering in Proton and Carbon-ion Therapy
Background: In radiation therapy with ion beams, lateral distributions of absorbed dose in the tissue are important. Heavy ion therapy, such as carbon-ion therapy, is a novel technique of high-precision external radiotherapy which has advantages over proton therapy in terms of dose locality and biological effectiveness.Methods: In this study, we used Monte Carlo method-based Geant4 toolkit to s...
متن کاملQuantum coherence and lifetimes of surface-state electrons
We discuss a novel approach to measure the electron phase-relaxation length and femtosecond lifetimes at surfaces. It relies on the study of the spatial decay of quantum interference patterns in the local density of states (LDOS) with the STM. The method has been applied to s–p derived surface-state electrons on Cu(111) and Ag(111). The characteristic decay length of the LDOS oscillations is in...
متن کاملRenormalized Phonon Microstructures at High Temperatures from First-Principles Calculations: Methodologies and Applications in Studying Strong Anharmonic Vibrations of Solids
While the vibrational thermodynamics of materials with small anharmonicity at low temperatures has been understood well based on the harmonic phonons approximation, at high temperatures, this understandingmust accommodate how phonons interact with other phonons or with other excitations. To date the anharmonic lattice dynamics is poorly understood despite its great importance, and most studies ...

While the vibrational thermodynamics of materials with small anharmonicity at low temperatures has been understood well based on the harmonic phonons approximation; at high temperatures, this understanding must accommodate how phonons interact with other phonons or with other excitations. We shall see that the phonon-phonon interactions give rise to interesting couplingproblems, and essentially...
