The goal of this review is to discuss post-irradiation analysis of low-energy (≤ 50 eV)
electron-induced processes in nanoscale thin films. Because electron-induced surface …

One of the more controversial issues in surface science concerns the relevance of studies
on singlecrystal surfaces under vacuum conditions for processes such as heterogeneous …

The desorption of surface-bound species induced by electronic excitation mechanisms is a
fascinating phenomenon of fundamental as well as technological importance. This article …

Photochemistry at adsorbate/metal interfaces is a relatively new subject in the surface
science community and one which provides excellent opportunities for studying adsorbate …

A new mechanism is introduced to describe desorption from surfaces under conditions of
strong electronic excitation. When repetitive excitations occur within the relaxation time for …

Photochemical surface processes are initiated by the absorption of photons by an adsorbate
or the substrate, and followed by various energy transfer and relaxation processes that lead …

The yield and final-state distributions in translational and internal degrees of freedom have
been established for NO molecules desorbed from a Pd (111) surface by 200-fs pulses of …

Desorption of NO molecules from a Pd (111) surface induced by femtosecond visible laser
pulses has been investigated in real time. The measurements, accomplished by means of a …

An elementary introduction on direct and resonant low-energy (0-20 eV) electron scattering
from molecules condensed on surfaces is given with reference to concepts developed from …

Low energy (0–12 eV) electron impact on condensed amorphous H2O and D2O films is
shown to induce electron stimulated desorption of H− and D−, respectively, via dissociative …
