Optically driven surface reactions are attracting an increasing level of attention in the
physical chemistry community. Not only have there been recent advances in establishing the …

Lasers are becoming increasingly important in surface science, both for the diagnostic
evaluation and the processing of surfaces, for example, higher harmonic generation for …

Particles released from a target surface by laser-pulse bombardment normally collide with
each other and, as a result, exhibit three limiting categories of gas-dynamic behavior. One …

The coadsorption of oxygen and carbon monoxide on the stepped Pt (112) surface has been
studied using electron stimulated desorption–ion angular distribution (ESDIAD), temperature …

Monte Carlo simulation is used to study the gas flow of particles laser desorbed from a
binary target into a vacuum. Pulsed desorption off of a finite area is modeled by using a …

A femtosecond pulse laser in the visible spectral region shows promise as a potentially new
powerful corneal sculpting tool. It combines the clinical and technical advantages of visible …

Photodesorption of small molecules from surfaces is one of the most fundamental processes
in surface photochemistry. Despite its apparent simplicity, a microscopic understanding …

A detailed understanding of the mechanism for photocatalytic reduction of CO2 by H2O is
required to facilitate the development of catalysts that exhibit improved activity, controlled …

We report measurements of the energy and angular distributions of positive ions (principally
Mg+) photodesorbed from polished MgO crystals exposed to 248 nm excimer laser …

Pulsed laser abblation of CdW04 at 266 nm is studied with a quadrupole mass spectrometric
((IMS) time-of-fight method. Ablation threshold, energy distribution, and angular distribution …
