Abstract
A theoretical model of projectile-surface scattering which includes mu ltiple collisions is developed using classical mechanical expressions for the single scattering of atomic-like particles from a many-body ta rget. Explicit calculations are compared with two examples of recently measured experimental data: (i) 200 eV Na+ ions reflected from Cu(001 ), and (ii) rare gas atoms in the eV energy range scattering from molt en metals. We show that the classical equations for the scattering pro bability describe the observed intensities quite well when multiple sc attering with several target atoms is included.
