Studying Complex Surface Dynamical Systems Using Helium-3 Spin-Echo Spectroscopy

Chemical reactions and growth processes on surfaces depend on the diffusion and re-orientation of the adsorbate molecules. A fundamental understanding of the forces guiding surface motion is thus of utmost importance for the advancement of many fields of science and technology. To date, our understa...
