photoinduced, hot-electron mediated desorption of NO from Pt (111). Two electronic states
are considered and both the DIET (Desorption Induced by Electronic Transitions) and
DIMET (Desorption Induced by Multiple Electronic Transitions) limits addressed. Besides the
center-of-mass motion of the molecule perpendicular to the surface plane, the vibrational
motion of the NO molecule is accounted for. In a first, methodological part the interrelations …
