It is shown that neutral particles moving above modulated surfaces undergo selective attractive or repulsive forces which in a resonance way depend on transition frequencies between internal energetic levels and the velocity of atom motion. The interaction of hydrogen atoms with surface-inhomogeneous periodic electric fields of crystallographic planes of ionic and ionic-covalent crystals is studied. It is investigated the possibility of application of such interactions for the obtaining of monochromatic by velocities one-component atom beams and also for the classication and separation of multi-component beams of particles for the determination the degree of ionicity,etc. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2014.387]
