We review the state-of-the art in dynamics calculations on the reactive scattering of H2 from
metal surfaces, which is an important model system of an elementary reaction that is …

The theory of time-dependent quantum dynamics of dissociative chemisorption of hydrogen
on metal surfaces is reviewed, in the framework of electronically adiabatic scattering from …

We present evidence for the diffraction of light keV atoms and molecules grazingly scattered
on LiF (001) and NaCl (001) surfaces. At such energies, the de Broglie wavelength is 2 …

Grazing incidence fast-atom diffraction (GIFAD) uses keV atoms to probe the topmost layer
of crystalline surfaces. The atoms are scattered by the potential energy landscape of the …

Grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD) at surfaces has made rapid progress and
has established itself as a surface analysis tool where effective energy E⊥ of the motion …

We have measured in-plane and out-of-plane diffraction of H 2 and D 2 molecular beams
scattered by reactive Pd (111) and nonreactive NiAl (110) surfaces at 140–150 meV. A …

Elastic diffraction of fast atoms at crystal surfaces under grazing incidence θ≈ 1° has strong
similarities with atomic diffraction at thermal energies discovered almost hundred years ago …

A grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD or FAD) setup, installed on a molecular
beam epitaxy chamber, has been used to characterize the β 2 (2× 4) reconstruction of a …

Grazing incidence fast atom diffraction at crystal surfaces (GIFAD or FAD) has demonstrated
coherent diffraction both at effective energies close to one eV (λ⊥≈ 14 pm for He) and at …

The diffraction of fast atoms at crystal surfaces is ideal for a detailed investigation of the
surface electronic density. However, instead of sharp diffraction spots, most experiments …
