Theory of inelastic atom-surface scattering
Description
This paper reviews a few aspects of inelastic scattering of low energy atoms by solid surfaces. The technique of atom-surface scattering has some remarkable advantages for investigating surface phonons and the most important are, (1) single phonon processes are dominant over a large range of conditions, (2) Rayleigh waves give surprisingly strong signals, and (3) kinematical focusing and inelastic resonances can be used to select and enhance the intensities due to certain vibrational modes. 18 references
