This perspective article reviews the state-of-the-art of grazing incidence fast atom and
molecule diffraction (GIFAD and GIFMD) simulations and addresses the main challenges …

The conventional notion of elastic, coherent atom-surface scattering originates from the
scattering particles acting as a quantum-mechanical matter wave, which coherently interfere …

Accurate knowledge about the energy loss of ions in matter is essential in many problems,
ranging from fundamental to applied nuclear physics. Indeed, there is a recent and …

Motivated by recent experimental and theoretical results, we have studied the diffraction of
atoms (D, 3 He, 4 He) from KCl (0 0 1). To perform this study, we have computed continuos …

In the scattering and stop** of heavy ions on a few surface layers in solids, contributions of
the electronic and nuclear energy losses can become comparable. In this work we present a …

Diffraction patterns produced by fast He atoms grazingly im**ing on a LiF (0 0 1) surface
are investigated focusing on the influence of the beam collimation. Single-and double-slit …

This perspective article reviews the state-of-the-art of grazing incidence fast atom and
molecule diffraction (GIFAD and GIFMD) simulations and addresses the main challenges …

Angle-and energy-loss-resolved distributions of helium atoms grazingly scattered from a Ag
(110) surface along low indexed crystallographic directions are investigated considering …

The phenomenon of energy loss that occurs when an ion interacts with matter, also called
stop** power, has been investigated for more than a century, and has provided findings of …
