Abstract
The first measurements are presented of the scattering of low-energy (≾2 meV) He atoms from a solid surface at low temperature (T_s=3.6K). The results are consistent with calculations which assume that all incident atoms either stick with probability α or are scattered elastically and specularly. As the mean incident angle with respect to the surface normal decreases from 45° to 14°, α increases from 0.77 to 0.94.
