Theory of Atom-Surface Scattering

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 21))

Abstract

These lectures describe the application of the quantum theory of scattering to atom-surface interaction processes. The treatment will be introductory, self-contained and fairly inclusive. A complete list of references is not given, however; these can be found in recent reviews [1–6].

Parts of these lectures were prepared at IGV-KFA, Jülich, Germany, with the support of a Humboldt Award, which is gratefully acknowledged.
