摘要
Under special kinematic conditions helium atoms impinging upon a crystal surface can be inelastically trapped into a surface bound state and ride the created Rayleigh wave. This special case of phonon-assisted selective adsorption, leading to an atom-phonon bound state (atomic polaron), can explain previously unassigned resonant features observed in published helium atom scattering distributions.
