Thermal Energy Atomic and Molecular Beam Diffraction from Solid Surfaces

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Surface Sciences ((SSSUR,volume 50))

Abstract

This chapter describes studies of diffractive phenomena from solid surfaces using He, Ne and H2 beams at incident energies between 20 and 200 meV. We summarize recent H2 diffraction experiments and calculations based on ab initio determined six–dimensional PESs performed on several single–crystal metal surfaces. The general trends observed in experiment are discussed, as well as the validity of the approximations usually employed in the calculations.
