Ar scattering on Ru (0001): a comparison to the washboard modelPresented at the Stereodynamics 2000 Conference on Dynamics and Stereodynamics of Chemical Reactions, El Escorial, Madrid, December 1–5, 2000.

The scattering of Ar atoms on a Ru (0001) surface has been studied by applying supersonic molecular beam techniques. Variation of the incidence energy (Ei) r...
