45. The integrated angular distributions of the hard cubes and washboard models are not necessarily equal to one because some atoms continue moving toward the surface after the first collision. The fraction of impinging atoms that exit the surface and are counted within each model are: Fig.8(a): 90%(Ga), 99% (In), 100% (Bi); Fig. 8(b): 87% (Ga), 96% (In), 100% (Bi); and Fig. 8(c): 89% (Ga), 96% (In), 99% (Bi).
