This perspective article reviews the state-of-the-art of grazing incidence fast atom and
molecule diffraction (GIFAD and GIFMD) simulations and addresses the main challenges …

The dissociation of methane is not only an important reaction step in catalytic processes, but
also of fundamental interest. Dynamical effects during the dissociative chemisorption of …

A grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD or FAD) setup, installed on a molecular
beam epitaxy chamber, has been used to characterize the β 2 (2× 4) reconstruction of a …

We demonstrate that quantum scattering of fast atoms and molecules under grazing angles
of incidence can be exploited to study the structure of organic molecules on metal surfaces …

We present a grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD) study of monolayer graphene
on 6H-SiC (0001). This system shows a Moiré-like 13× 13 superlattice above the …

We report on the experimental observation and theoretical study of the bound state
resonances in fast atom diffraction at surfaces. In our studies, the He 4 atom beam has been …

Two aspects of the contribution of grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD) to
molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) are reviewed here: the ability of GIFAD to provide in-situ a …

Grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD, or FAD) has developed as a surface
sensitive technique. Compared with thermal energies helium diffraction (TEAS or HAS) …

Using semiclassical methods, an analytical approach to describe grazing incidence
scattering of fast atoms (GIFAD) from surfaces is described. First, we consider a model with a …

Monolayer epitaxial graphene grown on 6H-SiC (0001) was recently investigated by grazing-
incidence fast-atom diffraction and analyzed with an ab initio electronic density calculation …
