Temperature dependence in fast-atom diffraction at surfaces

Peng Pan, Maxime Debiossac, Philippe Roncin

Grazing incidence fast atom diffraction at crystal surfaces (GIFAD or FAD) has demonstrated coherent diffraction both at effective energies close to one eV ( 14 pm…

A setup for grazing incidence fast atom diffraction

Peng Pan, Jaafar Najafi Rad, Philippe Roncin

We describe a UHV setup for grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD) experiments. The overall geometry is simply a source of keV atoms facing an imaging detector. Therefore,…

Revisiting Atomic Collisions Physics with highly charged ions, A tribute to Michel Barat

Philippe Roncin

Michel Barat passed away in November 2018 at the age of 80 after a rich career in atomic and molecular collisions. He had participated actively in formalizing to the electron promo…

Refraction of fast Ne atoms in the attractive well of LiF(001) surface

Maxime Debiossac, Philippe Roncin, A. G. Borisov

Ne atoms with energies up to 3 keV are diffracted under grazing angles of incidence from a LiF(001) surface. For a small momentum component of the incident beam perpendicular to th…

Alternative solutions to caesium in negative-ion sources: a study of negative-ion surface production on diamond in H 2 /D 2 plasmas

Gilles Cartry, Dmitry Kogut, Kostiantyn Achkasov +9

This paper deals with a study of H-/D-negative ion surface production on diamond in low pressure H2/D2 plasmas. A sample placed in the plasma is negatively biased with respect to p…

Energy loss and inelastic diffraction of fast atoms at grazing incidence

Philippe Roncin, Maxime Debiossac, Hanene Oueslati +1

The diffraction of fast atoms at grazing incidence on crystal surfaces (GIFAD) was first interpreted only in terms of elastic diffraction from a perfectly periodic rigid surface wi…

A large area high resolution imaging detector for fast atom diffraction

Sylvain Lupone, Pierre Soulisse, Philippe Roncin

We describe a high resolution imaging detector based on a single 80 mm micro-channel-plate (MCP) and a phosphor screen mounted on a UHV flange of only 100 mm inner diameter. It rel…

Elastic and inelastic diffraction of fast atoms,\linebreak Debye-Waller factor and Mössbauer-Lamb-Dicke regime

Philippe Roncin, Maxime Debiossac

The diffraction of fast atoms at crystal surfaces is ideal for a detailed investigation of the surface electronic density. However, instead of sharp diffraction spots, most experim…

Image processing for grazing incidence fast atom diffraction

Maxime Debiossac, Philippe Roncin

Grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD, or FAD) has developed as a surface sensitive technique. GIFAD is less sensitive to thermal decoherence but more demanding in terms o…
