Diffraction of fast heavy noble gas atoms, Ar, Kr and Xe on a LiF(001) surface Changing the tip of a 'perfect' AFM

Debiossac Maxime, Pan Peng, Kanitz Carina +1

We investigate experimentally the diffraction of fast atoms of noble gas on a LiF(100) crystal oriented along the [100] and [110] directions. The wavelengths are so short that the…
