DYNAMICS AT SURFACES

The scattering of atomic and molecular beams off single crystal surfaces provides us with a wealth of information on the dynamics of surfaces: phonon dispersions, sticking coefficients, atom reflectivity, localized surface vibrations or kinetic control of growth processes both for clean surfaces and for surfaces with adsorbed layers.
