The proposed scattering mechanism is reminiscent of the so-called Sisyphus effect of laser cooling. Perturbative calculations are presented and discussed for the diffraction of atomic beams at grazing incidence on evanescent fields with polarization gradients and for the reflection of atoms by a rough mirror.} } @ARTICLE{Henkel99a, author = {C.
