Phase-Dissipative Mechanisms for Laser-Induced Surface Desorption/Dissociation Processes.
Abstract
Vibrational excitation and relaxation for a molecule adsorbed on a surface is investigated in connection with desorption/dissociation processes. The population equations for a laser driven anharmonic oscillator involving both energy- and phase-relaxation mechanisms are derived with the Zwanzig projector technique and eigenfunction-expansion method due to Weidlich. Phase relaxation is seen to assist in the excitation of the resonant active mode.
