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 …

The present article reviews recent advances in the studies of the interaction of slow (v<
vBohr), very highly charged ions (such as Xe52+ and Au69+) with surfaces of metals …

We quantitatively evaluate the contribution of electron-hole pair excitations to the reactive
dynamics of H 2 on Cu (110) and N 2 on W (110), including the six dimensionality of the …

Great success has been achieved in the modeling of gas-surface elementary processes by
the use of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. However, in metal surfaces low energy …

We have simultaneously measured angular distributions and electronic energy loss of
helium ions and protons directly transmitted through self-supporting, single-crystalline …

Ab initio molecular dynamics with electronic friction (AIMDEF) is a valuable methodology to
study the interaction of atomic particles with metal surfaces. This method, in which the effect …

We report observations of nonequilibrium charge state distributions of slow, highly charged
(3 3+≤ q≤ 7 5+) ions after transmission of thin carbon foils. Charge equilibration times are …

We simulate the femtosecond-laser-induced desorption dynamics of a diatomic molecule
from a metal surface by including the effect of the electron and phonon excitations created …

Energy loss from the translational motion of an atom or molecule im**ing on a metal
surface to the surface may determine whether the incident particle can trap on the surface …

We report on charge state measurements of laser-accelerated carbon ions in the energy
range of several MeV penetrating a dense partially ionized plasma. The plasma was …
