In low energy atom-surface scattering, it is possible for the atom to be reflected in a region of attractive potential with no classical turning point. This phenomenon has come to be known as quantum reflection and it can reduce the…
Reactions on surfaces play an important role in many technological applications. Since these processes are often rather complex, one tries to understand single steps of these complicated reactions by investigating simpler system. In…
Recently developed quantum mechanical theory of inelastic He atom scattering (HAS) from solid surfaces is employed to analyze the energy transfer between projectile particles (thermal energy He-atoms) and vibrational degrees of freedom…
At low temperatures (10 K), hydrogen atoms can diffuse quickly on grain ice mantles and frequently encounter hydrogen molecules, which cover a notable fraction of grain surface. The desorption energy of H atoms on H2 substrates is much less…
Time-dependent density-functional theory simulations are performed to examine the effects of varying incident points and kinetic energies of hydrogen atom projectiles on a graphene-like structure. The simulations reveal that the incident…
When an hydrogen atom is brought near to the interface between $\theta$-media, the quantum-mechanical motion of the electron will be affected by the electromagnetic interaction between the atomic charges and the $\theta$-interface, which is…
New interlayer intermolecular potential model was proposed and it represented ``ABAB'' staking of graphite. Hydrogen atom sputtering on graphite surface was investigated using molecular dynamics simulation. In the initial short time period,…
In this work, we demonstrate a new system for the examination of gas interactions with surfaces via Atom Probe Tomography. This system provides the capability to examine the surface and subsurface interactions of gases with a wide range of…
Oxygen exchange at oxide/liquid and oxide/gas interfaces is important in technology and environmental studies, as it is closely linked to both catalytic activity and material degradation. The atomic-scale details are mostly unknown,…
An atom in front of a surface is one of the simplest and fundamental problem in physics. Yet, it allows testing quantum electrodynamics, while providing potential platforms and interfaces for quantum technologies. Despite, its simplicity,…
We present a treatment of cold hydrogen-antihydrogen collisions based on the asymptotic properties of atom-antiatom interactions. We derive general formulas for the elastic and inelastic cross sections and for the scattering lengths and…
In studies of dynamical systems, helium atoms scatter coherently from an ensemble of adsorbates as they diffuse on the surface. The results give information on the co-operative behaviour of interacting adsorbates and thus include the…
We introduce a fully ab initio theory for inelastic scattering of any atom from any surface exciting single phonons, and apply the theory to helium scattering from Nb(100). The key aspect making our approach general is a direct…
Differential Faddeev equations in total angular momentum representation are used for the first time to investigate ultra-low energy elastic scattering of a helium atom on a helium dimer. Six potential models of interatomic interaction are…
High-sensitivity laser spectroscopy is integral to applications like atomic clocks, quantum computers, and chemical sensing. Lowering atomic temperature decreases spectral Doppler broadening and increases transit time across the excitation…
Here, the influence of resonance photon-atom scattering on the atom interference pattern at the exit of a three-grating Mach-Zehnder interferometer is studied. It is assumed that the scattering process does not destroy the atomic wave…
Using helium-3 atom scattering, we have studied the adsorption kinetics, the structure and the diffusional dynamics of atomic hydrogen on the surface of a graphene monolayer on Ni(111). Diffraction measurements reveal a 4$^\circ$ rotated…
A scanning helium microscope typically utilises a thermal energy helium atom beam, with an energy and wavelength (<100 meV, ~0.05 nm) particularly sensitive to surface structure. An angular detector stage for a scanning helium microscope is…
Hydrogenated diamond has been regarded as a promising material in electronic device applications, especially in field-effect transistors (FETs). However, the quality of diamond hydrogenation has not yet been established, nor has the…
Reactive chemistry of molecular hydrogen at surfaces, notably dissociative sticking and hydrogen evolution, plays a crucial role in energy storage and fuel cells. Theoretical studies can help to decipher underlying mechanisms and reaction…
