Abstract
The temperature dependence of the internal stretch vibrational mode of CO adsorbed on Ni(111) has been studied by infrared spectroscopy. The results are successfully analyzed by a model for vibrational phase relaxation. It is found that anharmonic coupling between the C-O stretch mode and a low-frequency frustrated rotation gives the dominant contribution.Keywords
