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...
