A simple quantum-mechanical model for the sticking, and inelastic scattering of an atom at the surface of a cold solid, with energy loss to either an electron or a phonon system, is solved exactly. The elastic gas-solid potential is a 6 function in front of a hard wall, and the coupling to the excit

For grazing scattering of keV Ne and Ar atoms from a Ag(1 1 1) and a Cu(1 1 1) surface under axial surface channeling conditions we observe well defined peaks in the angular distributions for scattered projectiles. These peaks can be attributed to ''rainbow-scattering'' and are closely related to th
Electron loss and electron emission for grazing impact of noble gas atoms with energies in the keV domain are investigated via timeof-flight spectra recorded in coincidence with the number of emitted electrons. The data is analyzed in terms of computer simulations concerning the interaction of the f
