Surface composition analysis by low-energy ion scattering
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of surface composition analysis by low-energy ion scattering (LEIS) is presented, where the authors summarize the present understanding of the factors that determine the ion fraction of the scattered particles in LEIS, i.e. charge exchange processes.

STM study of the geometric and electronic structure of ZnO(0001)-Zn, (0001̄)-O, (101̄0), and (112̄0) surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, structural models for the different surfaces of ZnO surfaces are proposed and related to the stability and reactivity of the surfaces, based on these results, structural models are proposed.

Collisions of atoms and ions with surfaces under grazing incidence
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed discussion of the scattering of fast atoms and ions from solid surfaces under a grazing angle of incidence is presented Theoretical and experimental results are used to demonstrate that collisions employing this scattering geometry provide interesting new phenomena and insights into atom-surface interactions.

Adsorbate structure determination on surfaces using photoelectron diffraction
TL;DR: A review of the background physics of the process and the development of the technique is described in this article, and a brief discussion of the high energy forward scattering version of the X-ray photoelectron diffraction-XPD is included, but the most of the review is concerned with the lower energy backscattering method more relevant to the determination of detailed adsorption sites on surfaces.

Investigation of the Chain Effect in the Scattering of Low Energy Noble Gas Ions from a Ni(110) Surface
Edmund Taglauer,W. Heiland +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the backscattering of 600 eV Ne+ ions from a Ni (110) surface was investigated and the energy spectra showed peaks which can be explained in terms of scattering of the ions from the chain of surface atoms.

Lifetimes of negative-ion states near metal surfaces.
TL;DR: The affinity levels of the atoms are described using a nonlocal pseudopotential derived with use of the separable-potential method and the widths of the affinity levels are found to be narrow compared to the width of typical excited states.
