Electron and energy transfer processes between an atom or molecule and a surface are extremely important for many applications in physics and chemistry. Therefore a profound understanding of these processes is essential in order to analyze…
Low energy ion scattering is a technique to detect the energy of ions which are scattered from a surface. For noble gas ions, it is predominantly sensitive to the topmost surface layer due to strong neutralisation processes. Depending on…
The neutralization probability of low energy Na$^{+}$ ions scattered from In- and As-rich InAs(001) surfaces is measured by time-of-flight spectroscopy. It is found that the neutralization probability for projectiles scattered from As sites…
We investigated the impact of surface oxygen on the ion yield for He$^+$ ions scattered from different single crystalline surfaces in low-energy ion scattering. Initially clean Al(111) and Ta(111) were exposed to molecular oxygen and ion…
It is demonstrated that the ionization events in the vicinity of a small floating grain can increase the ion flux to its surface. In this respect the effect of electron impact ionization is fully analogous to that of the ion-neutral…
Recent measurements of the scattering of He and Ne atoms at Rh(110) suggest that these two rare-gas atoms measure a qualitatively different surface corrugation: While Ne atom scattering seemingly reflects the electron-density undulation of…
Neutralization probabilities are presented for hyperthermal energy Na+ ions scattered from a Cu(001) crystal as a function of surface temperature and scattered velocity. A large enhancement in neutralization is observed as the temperature…
This paper unveils and investigates a novel quasi-Minnaert resonance for an elastic hard inclusion embedded in a soft homogeneous medium in the sub-wavelength regime. The quasi-Minnaert resonance consists of boundary localization and…
An ab initio calculation of atomic ionization of germanium (Ge) by neutrinos was carried out in the framework of multiconfiguration relativistic random phase approximation. The main goal is to provide a more accurate cross section formula…
Semiconductor quantum dots driven by the broadband radiation fields of nearby quantum point contacts provide an exciting new setting for probing dynamics in driven quantum systems at the nanoscale. We report on real-time charge-sensing…
The single-particle spectral function for an incompressible fractional quantum Hall state in the presence of a scalar short-ranged attractive impurity potential is calculated via exact diagonalization within the spherical geometry. In…
We investigate marginally stable nuclear burning on the surface of accreting neutron stars as an explanation for the mHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) observed from three low mass X-ray binaries. At the boundary between unstable and…
Resonances, which are also described as autoionizing or quasi-bound states, play an important role in the scattering of atoms and ions with electrons. The current article is an overview of the main methods, including a recently-proposed…
The momentum transfer between the normal components to an index direction in the collision of an atom with a periodic surface is investigated. For fast atoms with grazing angle of incidence there is an interval of azimuthal angles around…
The efficiency of extracting single atoms or molecules from an ultracold bosonic reservoir is theoretically investigated for a protocol based on lasers, coupling the hyperfine state in which the atoms form a condensate to another stable…
Upon investigating whether the variation of the antineutron-nucleus annihilation cross-sections at very low energies satisfy Bethe-Landau's power law of $\sigma_{\rm ann} (p) \propto 1/p^{\alpha}$ behavior as a function of the antineutron…
The ionization of atomic electrons by scattering of neutrinos is revisited. This process is the one studied in the experimental searches for a neutrino magnetic moment using germanium detectors. Current experiments are sensitive to the…
Dielectronic recombination (DR) of few-electron ions has evolved into a sensitive spectroscopic tool for highly charged ions. This is due to technological advances in electron-beam preparation and ion-beam cooling techniques at heavy-ion…
We study double ionization in a one-dimensional model of a three-electron atom exposed to strong short laser fields. The corresponding ab initio simulations reveal a characteristic ``knee'' in the ionization yield at lower field intensities…
Quantum reflection is a universal property of atoms and molecules when scattered from surfaces in ultracold collisions. Recent experimental work has documented the quantum reflection and diffraction of He atoms, dimers, trimers and Neon…
