Theoretical study of gas -surface interactions: Temperature and diffraction effects on trapping and sticking processes
The focus of our study is on the effect of the surface's corrugation and vibration on diffraction mediated selective adsorption (DMSA). In DMSA the normal translational energy of the atom is converted into motion parallel to the surface. For a rigid surface, this occurs at specific values of in...
