Recent developments and achievements in the theoretical interpretation of inelastic
scattering of thermal energy beams of He and other noble gas atoms from surfaces are …

In this review we cover recent advances in the theory of the selective adsorption
phenomenon that appears in light atom/molecule scattering off solid surfaces. Due to the …

Chemical reactions at surfaces do not follow the same reaction dynamics as atoms in the
gas phase. The changes from" ideal" interactions depend on the electronic structure and the …

We present a method for calculating elastic and inelastic scattering probabilities for light
particles, such as helium and molecular hydrogen, scattering from surfaces with which they …

We consider the interaction of a neutral atom colliding with a solid surface and develop a
general quantum mechanical theory describing the multiphonon inelastic transfer processes …

An overview of the phenomena known to be of importance in molecule-surface scattering is
presented and a detailed description of dynamical models and theories which can be used …

For the He–LiF (001) system, molecular beam measurements of the inelastically scattered
intensity have revealed a large number of resonance structures. In this paper the theoretical …

Helium and molecular-hydrogen scattering from copper is calculated to examine general
features of scattering for these systems, especially the quantum mechanics of the scattering …

A fully quantum-mechanical study is made of light particles sticking on a model Cu surface.
The full molecule-metal wave function is expanded to include states corresponding to elastic …

In this paper we review some recent models for gas-surface scattering in which the gas
particle can interact and exchange energy with the vibrational modes of the solid …
