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.

Ion scattering by atomic chains on a solid surface
TL;DR: In this paper, computer simulations of ion scattering by some rarefied infinite atomic chains and some broken chains, consisting of a finite number of atoms, taking into account correlated thermal vibrations and two types of interaction potential were carried out.

Atomic Collision Processes During Plasma-Wall Interaction in Fusion Devices
TL;DR: The performance of magnetically confined plasmas in fusion devices is to a large extent governed by atomic collisions of plasma particles (ions and charge exchange neutrals) with first wall structures as discussed by the authors.

Inelastic energy loss of low energy surface scattered ions
D.J. O'Connor,R.J. MacDonald +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the inelastic energy loss for surface scattered particles by comparison of energy spectra taken along such a direction to energy spectras taken along other surface chains, and other crystallographic orientations which allow these measurements to be made.

Influence of thermal vibrations on kinetic energy versus total scattering angle diagrams for large-angle surface ion scattering
W. Takeuchi,Y. Yamamura +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relation between the kinetic energies of reflected ions and total scattering angles was investigated for large-angle surface scattering in a vibrating system and it was found that in the region of largeangle backscattering a peak besides the well-known peaks due to the quasi-single (QS) and quasi-double (QD) collisions is observed at an energy lower than the QS peak in the energy spectra even if thermal vibrations are taken into account.
