The dynamics of ballistic adsorbates on metal surfaces are not only important for
understanding energy dissipation but also of practical relevance in an array of important …

Intermediate states to covalent attachment of molecules on surfaces, so called precursors,
are usually considered to be physisorbed and mobile. We show that this view should be …

A fundamental question for the adsorption of any gas molecule on surfaces is its saturation
coverage, whose value can provide a comprehensive examination for the adsorption …

We present first-principles molecular dynamics simulations of oxygen difluoride im**ing
upon the monohydrogenated Si {001}(2× 1) surface. Adsorption occurred in fewer than 10 …

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the self-diffusion of ammonia
on exfoliated graphite. Using neutron time-of-flight spectroscopy we are able to resolve the …

The interaction of highly reactive species with solid surfaces can result in modes of
adsorption quite distinct from the classic molecular and dissociative events that are usually …

Diffusion on surfaces is a fundamental process in surface science, governing nanostructure
and film growth, molecular self-assembly, and chemical reactions. Atom motion on non …

Abstract Scanning Tunneling Microscopy was used to investigate the electron-induced
reaction of 1, 2-dibromoethane (DBE) and 1, 2-dichloroethane (DCE) on Si (100). We …

The electron-induced dissociation of chemisorbed HS to give recoiling H-atoms was
investigated on a Si (111)-7× 7 surface at 270 K by scanning tunnelling microscopy and …

We report the observation of electron-induced unidirectional planar molecular rotation of
para-chlorostyrene on Si (100), studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at room …
