Femtochemistry addresses fundamental processes of chemical reaction dynamics such as
bond formation and breaking, which occur typically on a femtosecond time scale (1 fs) 10-15 …

When neutral molecules with low levels of vibrational excitation collide at metal surfaces,
vibrational coupling to electron-hole pairs (EHPs) is not thought to be strong unless …

We review the state-of-the-art in the theory of dissociative chemisorption (DC) of small gas
phase molecules on metal surfaces, which is important to modeling heterogeneous catalysis …

Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations enable the accurate description of reactive
molecule–surface scattering especially if energy transfer involving surface phonons is …

We quantitatively evaluate the contribution of electron-hole pair excitations to the reactive
dynamics of H 2 on Cu (110) and N 2 on W (110), including the six dimensionality of the …

Time-resolved two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy is used to study the dynamics of non-
equilibrium electron and hole distributions at bare and D 2 O-covered Ru (001) following …

Gaining insight into the nature and dynamics of the transition state is the essence of
mechanistic investigations of chemical reactions, yet the fleeting configuration when existing …

The desorption of atoms or molecules from solid surfaces is a key step in heterogeneous
catalysis, photocatalysis, electrochemistry, and surface nanochemistry. The breaking of a …

The field of gas‐phase chemical dynamics has developed superb experimental methods to
probe the detailed outcome of gas‐phase chemical reactions. These experiments inspired …

Molecular energy transfer processes at solid surfaces are profoundly important, influencing
trap**, desorption, diffusion, and reactivity; in short, all of the elementary steps needed for …
