Thermal energy deuterium beam scattering (TEDS) from Rh(110) surface is reported and compared to helium atom scattering (HAS). Unlike for He, we find quite strong D2 off-specular diffraction. The D2 diffraction intensities are fairly isotropic along the [001] and [11̄0], reflecting the presence of a finite dissociation barrier in the potential energy surface (PES) rather than the anisotropic corrugation of the relevant Rh(110) surface electron density. Inelastic D2 scattering with strong J=0→2 kinetic-to-rotational energy conversion is also presented and discussed.
