Diffraction experiments of argon or helium on polluted surfaces

Description

Scattering patterns of molecular beams of argon or helium from metal surfaces (bulk metal or thin films) are reported. The pressure in the scattering chamber is about 10-6 torr. So, the surfaces are polluted. Diffraction peaks are observed which can be interpreted very well by assuming that nitrogen, oxygen or carbon atoms are adsorbed of the surface. On the other hand, diffraction peaks from a silicon crystal have been observed which can be reproduced very well by using silicon crystal lattice. These experiments are not interpreted accurately, but show that molecular reflection can be used for some surface studies

Abstract (French)

La diffusion des faisceaux moleculaires d'argon ou d'helium sur les surfaces metalliques (masses metalliques ou films minces) est exposee. La pression dans la chambre de diffusion est d'environ 10-6 torr et ainsi les surfaces sont polluees. Des pics de diffraction sont observes qui peuvent etre bien interpretes en supposant que les atomes d'azote, d'oxygene ou de carbone sont adsorbes a la surface. D'autre part, les pics de diffraction d'un cristal de silicium ont ete observes et peuvent tres bien etre reproduits en employant un reseau cristallin de silicium. Ces experiences ne sont pas interpretees de facon precise mais elles montrent que la reflexion moleculaire peut etre employee pour l'etude de ces surfaces
