Abstract
The scattering dynamics of hyperthermal C-60 from a carbonized nickel surface at impact energies E(0)=10-50 eV was studied by high resolutio n angular and energy distributions. The scattered energy scales linear ly with Eo and kinetic energy losses vary with scattering angle from s imilar to 85 to similar to 40%. Nearly complete decoupling between nor mal and tangential energy losses was found. The tangential losses are described in terms of various models of rotational excitation and the involvement of translational slip is concluded. (C) 1997 American Inst itute of Physics.
