Abstract
Stochastic wave function formalism is briefly introduced and applied to study the dynamics of open quantum systems; in particular, the diffusion of Xe atoms adsorbed on a Pt(111) surface. By starting from a Lindblad functional and within the microscopic Caldeira–Leggett model for linear dissipation, a stochastic differential equation (Ito^-type differential equation) is straightforwardly obtained. The so-called intermediate scattering function within the ballistic regime is obtained, which is observable in Helium spin echo experiments. An ideal two-dimensional gas has been observed in this regime, leading to this function behaving as a Gaussian function. The influence of surface–adsorbate interaction is also analyzed by using the potential of two interactions describing flat and corrugated surfaces. Very low surface coverages are considered and, therefore, the adsorbate–adsorbate interaction is safely neglected. Good agreement is observed when our numerical results are compared with the corresponding experimental results and previous standard Langevin simulations.
