O. Rakhovskaia et al., THRESHOLDS FOR ELECTRON-STIMULATED DESORPTION OF NEUTRAL MOLECULES FROM SOLID N-2, CO, O-2 AND NO, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 101(1-2), 1995, pp. 169-173
Exact thresholds for electron stimulated desorption of neutral particl
es from ices of Ar, N-2, CO, O-2, and NO are measured and assigned to
electronic transitions. Based on these threshold data, microscopic pro
cesses that convert electronic energy into nuclear motion are discusse
