Photodesorption of NO from Ni(100)-O

Authors:

Abstract
Fully state-resolved analysis of NO molecules desorbed from an oxygen-covered Ni(100) surface by uv radiation (λ=193 nm) yields the operation of two desorption channels, thermal and nonthermal, via electronic excitation. The latter fraction exhibits as a particular feature pronounced spin-orbit selectivity at low rotational quantum numbers.
