Abstract: | The elastic scattering of low-energy light atoms from a perfect crystalline surface is studied by an iterative integration scheme using the Green function. The atom-solid interaction is represented by the often used Morse type surface potential. A varying number of closed and open channels is included in the calculation, according to necessicity. For a beam incident along the cyrstal symmetry directions, a scheme to utilize the symmetry condition for efficient computation is proposed. The diffraction intensities at a bound state resonance (selective adsorption) are calculated by properly selecting a reference potential for the calculation of the Green function. The calculations yield the resonant diffraction intensity patterns in agreement with previous calculations using a different numerical technique and with the experimental observations for the HeLiF and HeNaF systems. A calculation including 69 allowed diffracted beams (open channels) for the HeLiF system at normal incidence is also presented and comparison with experimental results is made to estimate the periodic potential parameter. |
