The angular intensity distribution of He beams scattered from compact clusters and from diffusion limited aggregates, epitaxially grown on metal surfaces, is investigated theoretically. The purpose is twofold: to distinguish compact cluster…
A theoretical study is made on He scattering from three fundamental classes of disordered ad-layers: (a) Translationally random adsorbates, (b) disordered compact islands and (c) fractal submonolayers. The implications of the results to…
We propose a novel method to measure the fractal dimension of a submonolayer metal adatom system grown under conditions of limited diffusivity on a surface. The method is based on measuring the specular peak attenuation of He atoms…
The utility of a continuous beam of He droplets for the assembly and surface deposition of Ag clusters, <N(Ag)> ~ 300 - 6 000, is studied with transmission electron microscopy. Images of the clusters on amorphous carbon substrates obtained…
We outline a strategy for quantitatively evaluating the conformational characteristics of self-assembled structures using the techniques of contrast variation small angle neutron scattering. By means of basis function expansion, a case…
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…
We observed surface X-ray diffraction from He-4 submonolayers adsorbed on a single-surface graphite using synchrotron X-rays. Time evolutions of scattering intensities along the crystal truncation rod (CTR) were observed even after reaching…
Using classical electrodynamics we determine the angular dependence of the light intensities radiated in second and third harmonic generation by spherical metal clusters. Forward and backward scattering is analyzed in detail. Also resonance…
The study of inelastic scattering and multi-nucleon transfer reactions was performed by bombarding a $^{9}$Be target with a $^3$He beam at an incident energy of 30 MeV. Angular distributions for $^9$Be($^3$He,$^3$He)$^{9}$Be,…
The structural and dynamical properties of OCS molecules solvated in Helium clusters are studied using reptation quantum Monte Carlo, for cluster sizes n=3-20 He atoms. Computer simulations allow us to establish a relation between the…
Multiple scattering theory is applied to the study of clusters of point-like scatterers attached to a thin elastic plate and arranged in quasi-periodic distributions. Two type of structures are specifically considered: the twisted bilayer…
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…
Disordered dielectrics with structural correlations on length scales comparable to visible light wavelengths exhibit complex optical properties. Such materials exist in nature, leading to beautiful structural non-iridescent color, and they…
Structural models of growing Ge hut clusters---pyramids and wedges---are proposed on the basis of data of recent STM investigations of nucleation and growth of Ge huts on the Si(001) surface in the process of molecular beam epitaxy. It is…
The growth and microstructural properties of ternary monolayers of two-dimensional hexagonal materials are examined, including both individual two-dimensional crystalline grains and in-plane heterostructures, multijunctions, or…
Multilayers of hydrogenated ultrathin (3 nm) amorphous a-Si and a-Ge layers prepared by sputtering have been studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to check the influence of annealing on their…
Hetero-epitaxial crystalline films underlie many electronic and optical technologies but are prone to forming defects at their hetero-interfaces. Atomic-scale defects such as threading dislocations that propagate into a film impede the flow…
This work addresses the question of precisely what features of few body models of halo nuclei are probed by elastic scattering on protons at high centre-of-mass energies. Our treatment is based on a multiple scattering expansion of the…
The flexibility and versatility of nanoassembled plasmonic structures provide platforms for mesoscale tunable optical modulation. Our recently developed model for these nanoassembled plasmonic structures is composed of a dielectric…
Helium atom scattering (HAS) studies of the H-covered Mo(110) and W(110) surfaces reveal a twofold anomaly in the respective dispersion curves. In order to explain this unusual behavior we performed density-functional theory calculations of…
