Dynamics of the interaction of O sub 2 with silver surfaces

Molecular beam studies involving the interaction of (hyper-)thermal O sub 2 with Ag(111) and Ag(110) are reported. Several different scattering paths are observed: physisorption followed by desorption, direct inelastic scattering from both the physisorption and the chemisorption potential, transient...

Description
Summary:Molecular beam studies involving the interaction of (hyper-)thermal O sub 2 with Ag(111) and Ag(110) are reported. Several different scattering paths are observed: physisorption followed by desorption, direct inelastic scattering from both the physisorption and the chemisorption potential, transient trapping-desorption, molecular chemisorption and dissociative chemisorption. The underlying dynamics of all of these processes is reviewed.
