Abstract

Since its first introduction by SMITH /1/ low-energy ion scattering has developed into a well-established method for investigating the composition and structure of solid surfaces. The specific features of the method lie in its sensitivity to the atomic masses in the topmost layer of a surface and in the capability to analyse the positions of these atoms relative to each other, i.e. to characterize the local atomic arrangement /2/.
