Chapter and Conference Paper
Theory of Atom-Surface Scattering
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 re...

Temperature Effects in Diffractive Atom-Surface Scattering: Perturbation Theory Formulae
The thermally-induced change in diffracted intensity is expressed in terms of the general effective (optical) potential for atom-surface diffraction. When the surface corrugation is negligible, the decrease of...

Chapter
Waves on Corrugated Surfaces: K-Gaps and Enhanced Backscattering
Several unexpected phenomena involving the propagation of electromagnetic waves on corrugated surfaces arise from high-order processes in the interaction of a photon (or a surface polariton) with the surface c...

Theory of Helium Scattering from Surface Phonons
This is a review of the application of atom-surface scattering theory to the determination of surface phonon spectra throughout the surface Brillouin zone. It focuses on the interpretation of time-of-flight (T...

Chapter
Interaction Potentials
Much of the usefulness of He scattering to surface science stems from data analysis by simple kinematics: the two-dimensional diffraction pattern from an ordered surface directly gives the reciprocal lattice v...
