Abstract
Total target currents for grazing scattering of keV protons from a crystal target are used to investigate the structure of surfaces and ultrathin films. This current shows pronounced maxima whenever the azimuthal incidence angle coincides with close-packed rows of atoms in the surface and subsurface layers. The real-space method is applied to study monolayer and bilayer films of Mn and of CoMn epitaxially grown on a Cu(001) surface.
