Structures in low-energy classical bremsstrahlung

We study classical bremsstrahlung from neutral atoms and investigate the origins of the structures in the energy dependence of the differential cross section ωdσ/dω and the asymmetry parameter a2, using soft-photon limit results in terms of elastic scattering. We show that trapping features in elastic scattering do not contribute to the structures. Rather, these structures result from the suppr...

First-principles predicted low-energy structures of NaSc(BH4)4.

According to previous interpretations of experimental data, sodium-scandium double-cation borohydride NaSc(BH4)4 crystallizes in the crystallographic space group Cmcm where each sodium (scandium) atom is surrounded by six scandium (sodium) atoms. A careful investigation of this phase based on ab initio calculations indicates that the structure is dynamically unstable and gives rise to an energe...

A Low Energy Electron Diffraction Study of Surface Structures

From the low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) analysis of the (110) surface of palladium we have determined an oscillatory relaxation with respect to the bulk interlayer spacing in the two topmost layers. We used R-factors for quantitative comparison of theoretical I-V curves with the experimental data. The oscillatory relaxation of the surface Pd(110) d12 = (1.33 ± 0.05) Å, d23 = (1.44 ± 0.0...
