We present a comparative assessment of the features of inelastic atom-surface scattering spectra that are produced by several different forms of linear and nonlinear phonon coupling to the projectile atom. Starting from a simple theoretical model of atom-surface scattering and employing several recently developed exact numerical and approximate analytical methods we calculate and compare the scattering probabilities ensuing from each form of interaction and from each calculational scheme. This enables us to demonstrate that in the regime of thermal energy atom scattering from surfaces the dominant contributions to the zero-, one- and multi-phonon excitation probabilities obeying unitarity arise from linear coupling treated to all orders in the interaction.
We develop a multidimensional coupled channel method suitable for studying the interplay of bound state resonance and phonon assisted scattering of inert gas atoms from solid surfaces in one, two and three dimensions. This enables us to get insight i
Understanding the physics of strongly correlated electronic systems has been a central issue in condensed matter physics for decades. In transition metal oxides, strong correlations characteristic of narrow $d$ bands is at the origin of such remarkab
We employ time-resolved resonant x-ray diffraction to study the melting of charge order and the associated insulator-metal transition in the doped manganite Pr$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ after resonant excitation of a high-frequency infrared-active lat
Atom scattering is becoming recognized as a sensitive probe of the electron-phonon interaction parameter $lambda$ at metal and metal-overlayer surfaces. Here, the theory is developed linking $lambda$ to the thermal attenuation of atom scattering spec
Electron-phonon coupling (EPC) is one of the most common and fundamental interactions in solids. It not only dominates many basic dynamic processes like resistivity, thermal conductivity etc, but also provides the pairing glue in conventional superco
