Quantum state resolved desorption of CO from solid surface
Abstract
In this project we have concentrated on three activities. First, we studied the kinetics of recombinative desorption of hydrogen and deuterium atoms on a Si(100) surface. Second, we studied the kinetics of isotope mixing between CO molecules on a potassium promoted Ni(111) surface. Third, we have designed and implemented a laser multiphoton ionization time-of-flight (MPI-TOF) mass spectrometer for measuring the velocity, vibrational and rotational distribution of molecules leaving a surface in our ultrahigh vacuum chamber.
