Abstract:
Using the R-matrix dynamical theory of Reflection High-Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED), we analyze the intensity anomalies commonly observed in RHEED rocking curves. Results for Ag(001) and Pt(111) show that the anomalies are associated with the trapping of particular components of the electron wave field inside the crystal by linear chain potential parallel to the surface. These pseudobound states correspond to minima in the total elastic flux of an ultrathin film (≤10monolayer) and maxima in the inelastic flux. The discrete energy levels of the bound states in Ag(001) and Pt(111) are determined for the first time and the effect of such bound states on the rocking curves is discussed.
