Semiquantum approach for fast atom diffraction: Solving the rainbow divergence

Abstract: In this work we introduce a distorted wave method, based on the Initial Value Representation (IVR) approach of the quantum evolution operator, in order to improve the semiclassical description of rainbow effects in diffraction patterns produced by grazing scattering of fast atoms from crystal surfaces. The proposed theory, named Surface Initial Value Representation (SIVR) approximation, is applied to He atoms colliding with a LiF(001) surface along low indexed crystallographic channels. For this collision syst… Show more
