Otto Stern (1888-1969): The founding father of experimental atomic physics
J. Peter Toennies, Horst Schmidt-Böcking, Bretislav Friedrich +1
We review the work and life of Otto Stern who developed the molecular beam technique and with its aid laid the foundations of experimental atomic physics. Among the key results of…
The HF(v'=3) forward scattering peak of the F + H2 reaction revisited
Lev Yu. Rusin, Mikhail B. Sevryuk, J. Peter Toennies
A quantum mechanical coupled-channel scattering calculation on the Stark-Werner potential energy surface is used to study the F + H2(v=0; j=0,1,2) ---> H + HF(v', j') reaction at c…
Matter Wave Diffraction from an Inclined Transmission Grating: Searching for the Elusive He-4 Trimer Efimov State
R. Bruehl, A. Kalinin, O. Kornilov +3
The size of the helium trimer is determined by diffracting a beam of He-4 clusters from a 100 nm grating inclined by 21 degree. Due to the bar thickness the projected slit width is…
Expansion of Solid Helium into Vacuum: the Geyser Effect
R. E. Grisenti, M. Kaesz, J. P. Toennies +2
The particle flux through a two micron diameter orifice into vacuum from a source chamber filled with solid He exhibits a striking periodic behavior similar to that of a geyser. Th…
The van der Waals Potential between Metastable Atoms and Solid Surfaces: Novel Diffraction Experiments versus Theory
Ruediger Bruehl, Peter Fouquet, Robert E. Grisenti +5
Highly polarizable metastable He* () and Ne* () atoms have been diffracted from a 100 nm period silicon nitride transmission grating and the van der W…
Combined He-atom scattering and theoretical study of the low energy vibrations of physisorbed monolayers of Xe on Cu(111) and Cu(001)
A. Siber, B. Gumhalter, J. Braun +5
The surface phonon dispersion curves of commensurate Xe monolayers on Cu(111) and incommensurate Xe monolayers on Cu(001) surfaces have been measured using He atom scattering (HAS)…
