Analysis of the Molecular Beam Inelastic Scattering at Solid Surfaces Based on the Theoretical Model of Pure and Classical Binary Collision

Abstract

The influence on the gas-surface inelastic collision processes at the well defined surfaces of molecular structural anisotropy, corrugation of the interaction potential and the center-of-mass position of the impinging molecules has been investigated utilizing a supersonic molecular beam technique in conjunction with the recently developed model calculation based on the simple and pure classical binary-collision. The model calculations are found to reproduce the obtained experimental results in details.
