Fast atom diffraction of H and He from a LiF(001) surface: Semi-quantum approach

For fast atom diffraction (FAD) from crystal surfaces we introduce a distorted wave method, based on the semi-quantum approach of the quantum evolution operator, in order to improve the description of rainbow effects given by the Surface Eikonal (SE) model. The theory, named Surface Initial Value Re...
