Abstract
We measured angular, velocity, and quantum-state distributions for ammonia molecules scattered from a gold (111) single crystal for a number of surface temperatures and incident beam energies, A molecular beam source produces a well-collimated rotationally cold (~15 K) beam of NH3 molecules with a narrow dispersion of a translational energy (~10%). The molecular beam impinges on an atomically clean single crystal of gold (111), and the scattered NH3 is detected in a quantum-resolved manner using two-photon resonant, three-photon ionization.1·2
