Abstract

The recent inelastic Ne scattering data for Ni(111) by Feuerbacher and Willis are theoretically analyzed in the framework of the distorted wave Born approximation. A Ne-surface soft potential model is inferred from two-body Ne-Ni interactions and the many-body effects due to the phonon-induced surface electron charge redistribution are qualitatively described by three-body forces. The surface-projected phonon densities for the Ni(111) surface are calculated from a force constant model including three-body forces. The cut-off produced by the softness of the Ne-Ni potential accounts for the observed cross-over from Rayleigh-wave to bulk phonon scattering regimes. The one-phonon picture correlates well with experiments for outgoing angles slightly apart from the specular condition (Rayleigh-wave regime) whereas for larger deviations from the specular condition (bulk phonon regime) multiphonon contributions are important.
