Ab initio potential for the He-Ag(110) interaction investigated using grazing-incidence fast-atom diffraction

Experimental diffraction patterns produced by grazing scattering of fast helium atoms from a Ag(110) surface are used as a sensitive tool to test an ab initio potential model derived from accurate density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. The scattering process is described by means of the surfa...
