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.

Analysis of surface composition with low-energy backscattered ions
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple collision model involving only the primary ion and a single isolated surface atom is proposed to identify surface impurity atoms, which can be used for characterizing thin films.

Sputtering of chemisorbed gas (nitrogen on tungsten) by low-energy ions
Harold F. Winters,Peter Sigmund +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that nitrogen atoms are sputtered primarily as a consequence of direct knock-on collisions with impinging and/or reflected noble-gas ions, and that the latter process is expected to dominate at much higher energies.

Charge exchange in atom-surface scattering: Thermal versus quantum mechanical non-adiabaticity
R. Brako,D.M. Newns +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the ionic fraction in the reflected beam when an atom or ion is scattered from a metal surface at finite temperature is considered, and three regimes are distinguished: low temperature, high temperature and low temperature.

Comparison of theoretical and empirical interatomic potentials
D.J. O'Connor,J.P. Biersack +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, many popular theoretical potentials are compared to a large range of experimental potentials to gauge the accuracy of the various theoretical models, and it is found that the Universal Potential of Biersack and Ziegler agrees best with the available measurements.

The sticking of O2 on a Pt(111) surface
TL;DR: In this article, the sticking coefficient at zero coverage for O2 on a Pt(111) surface as a function of initial energy (Ei), angle of incidence (θi), and surface temperature (Ts) was investigated.
