Inversion of Randomly Corrugated Surfaces Structure from Atom Scattering Data
arXiv:cond-mat/9901038 · doi:10.1088/0266-5611/14/5/013
Abstract
The Sudden Approximation is applied to invert structural data on randomly corrugated surfaces from inert atom scattering intensities. Several expressions relating experimental observables to surface statistical features are derived. The results suggest that atom (and in particular He) scattering can be used profitably to study hitherto unexplored forms of complex surface disorder.
