Overview

High resolution helium atom scattering can be applied to study a number of interesting properties of solid surfaces with great sensitivity and accuracy. This text treats in detail experimental and theoretical aspects of this method as well as all current applications in surface science. The individual chapters - all written by specialists in the field - are devoted to the investigation of surface structure, defect shapes and concentrations, the interaction potential, collective and localized surface vibrations at low energies, phase transitions and surface diffusion. Over the past decade helium atom scattering has gained widespread recognition within the surface science community. Points in its favour are comprehensive understanding of the scattering theory and the availability of well-tested approximation to the rigorous theory. This book should be useful to surface scientists wishing to make an informed judgement on the actual and potential capabilities of this technique and its results.
