Reply to “Comment on ‘Suppression of inelastic bound-state resonance effects by the dimensionality of an atom-surface scattering event’ ”
Antonio Šiber, B. Gumhalter
Abstract
We present a detailed study of the bound-state phonon-mediated resonances in atom-surface scattering that extends our earlier work [\ifmmode \check{S}\else \v{S}\fi{}iber and Gumhalter, Phys. Rev. B 71, 081401 (2005)]. Previous results obtained within the restricted Fock space coupled-channel algorithm are reconsidered in view of the enlargement and refinement of the basis of quantum states used in the calculation. The convergence demonstrated in this procedure reinforces the usefulness of the developed algorithm.
