Abstract
SynopsisWe address the effect of lattice vibrations of the crystal on grazing incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD) from insulator surfaces. To describe the phonon contribution to GIFAD we introduce a semi-quantum method, named Phonon-Surface Initial Value Representation (P-SIVR), which represents the surface with a harmonic crystal model, while the scattering process is given by the Surface Initial Value Representation approach including phonon excitations. P-SIVR results for Ne/LiF(001) are compared with other theoretical methods and available experiments.
