Abstract
This study focuses on van Hove-type spikes in the sticking probability of light particles on crystalline surfaces. The spikes result from singularities in the density of surface phonons subject to the constraints of the energy and the momentum conservation. The sharp features in sticking probability as a function of incoming angle and energy are derived and demonstrated for a model H2/Cu(100) system.
