Influence of beam collimation on fast-atom diffraction studied via a semiquantum approach
The influence of the collimating conditions of the incident beam on diffraction patterns produced by grazing scattering of fast atoms off crystal surfaces is studied within a semiquantum approach, called the surface initial value representation (SIVR) approximation. In this approach we incorporate a...

The influence of the collimating conditions of the incident beam on diffraction patterns produced by grazing scattering of fast atoms off crystal surfaces is studied within a semiquantum approach, called the surface initial value representation (SIVR) approximation. In this approach we incorporate a realistic description of the incident particle in terms of the collimating parameters, which determine the surface area that is coherently illuminated. The model is applied to He atoms colliding with a LiF(001) surface after passing through a rectangular aperture. As was experimentally observed [Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res., Sect.
