Suppression of inelastic bound state resonance effects by the dimensionality of atom-surface scattering event
arXiv:cond-mat/0502198 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.71.081401
Abstract
We develop a multidimensional coupled channel method suitable for studying the interplay of bound state resonance and phonon assisted scattering of inert gas atoms from solid surfaces in one, two and three dimensions. This enables us to get insight into the features that depend on the dimensionality of inelastic resonant processes typically encountered in low energy He atom scattering from surfaces, in general, and to elaborate on the observability of recently conjectured near threshold resonances in scattering from Einstein phonons, in particular.
