Improving the Angular Accuracy in Molecular Beam-Surface Scattering Experiments — •Paul Saftien, Bo-Gaun Chen, and Wolfgang Christen — Institut für Chemie, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Brook-Taylor-Straße 2, 12489 Berlin, http://clusterlab.de
In molecular beam-surface scattering experiments a precise alignment of the incoming beam, the target surface, and the particle detector is desirable.
We present a straightforward method allowing for an accurate positioning of the solid substrate in molecular beam-surface scattering experiments such that the beam-surface-detector angle is well defined. The method is demonstrated for measurements of the angular distribution of a pulsed supersonic helium beam, scattered off a chemically inert Si(111)/SiO2 surface. Based on a geometric model, target and detector positions are systematically varied in order to obtain a most precise surface alignment.
