Abstract
The so-called 'chain method' of calculating RHEED intensities is investigated. Convergence of the various expansions is tested and the range of feasibility for the full multiple scattering treatment is found to be up to 5 keV incident energy at present. This covers the energy range proposed for determination of atomic coordinates at surfaces, and the sensitivity of RHEED to atomic positions is investigated.Keywords
