Current knowledge of positron-metal boundary interaction is reviewed. The review interlinks such phenomena as positron trapping at surface, escape of positrons from metals, directional action of metal-metal contact on ...

We describe the scanning ellipsometry and transition radiation methods as well as their applications to surface dielectric function measurements. In particular, we present the results for a gadolinium sample in the visible ...

The electron energy spectrum is considered for a simple model of a thin film in an external longitudinal magnetic field. A systematic classification of the electron states in the thin film is carried out.

The paper deals with the scattering of elastic surface waves (ESW) on rough solid surfaces. The surface profile is modelled by a random field of two-dimensional isotropy. The treatment is based on the Green function ...

The incoherent scattering of electrons by a layer adsorbed at a single crystal surface is determined by the topological correlations of elements forming the adsorbed layer. The model for the description of atoms or ...
