title: Calculations of scattering of N2 molecules from Ru(0001).
abstract: Recent experimental measurements of state resolved scattering of nitrogen molecules from a Ru(0001) surface are discussed in comparison with a mixed quantum-classical theory that has given reasonable explanations for similar data on other systems. Acceptable agreement between data and calculations is obtained, but only upon assuming an effective mass of the surface equal to 2.3 times the mass of a single Ru atom.
