Abstract
The capture of an atom from a solid surface by a fast ion via double e lastic collision (Thomas scattering) is considered. The rigid geometry of such a process, in which the scattering angles depend only on the masses of the colliding particles, gives the possibility to use this s cattering for the determination of adatom location. The conditions for the experimental observation of Thomas scattering of an ion from a so lid surface are discussed.
