Atom-surface scattering dynamics at hyperthermal energies.

We have recently reported non-adiabatic excitations at single crystal surfaces due to hyperthermal atomic collisions. These include e-h sup + excitations and ion emission. As part of a systematic study of the dynamics underlying these events we report molecular beam scattering of hyperthermal Xe atoms over an energy range (1
