Abstract

A procedure for simulating the scattering of atomic particles at amorphous and crystalline targets is described in the binary collision approximation. The influence of thermal vibrations, choice of the potential, and the inclusion of inelastic energy losses are analyzed using the simulation of hydrogen-atom scattering at a tungsten surface as an example. The coefficients of reflection from crystalline, polycrystalline, and amorphous surfaces are compared.
