This approximation essentially consists of solving the standard Langevin equation with two noise sources and frictions: a Gaussian white noise accounting for the friction with the substrate, and a white shot noise characterized by a collisional friction simulating the adsorbate-adsorbate collisions. The broadenings undergone by the quasielastic peak are found to be in very good agreement with the experimental data reported at two surface temperatures 200 and 300 K.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-03-11T10:31:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "68.43.Jk", "05.10.Gg", "68.35.Fx" ], "keywords": [ "interacting adsorbates", "stochastic theory", "atom scattering", "quasielastic", "lineshape broadening" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2008, "month": "Mar", "volume": 77, "number": 11, "pages": 115414 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvB..77k5414M" } } }
