Kinematic effects in the Debye-Waller factor and sticking probabilities in low-energy atom-surface scattering

We present a theoretical analysis of kinematic effects that may strongly influence the magnitude of Debye-Waller factors and inelastic reflection and sticking coefficients describing thermal energy inert-gas-atom scattering from surface phonons. Assessment of the effects discussed is carried out for inelastic helium-atom scattering (HAS) from adsorbed Xe monolayers whose vibrational properties have been extensively studied in recent HAS experiments.
