Abstract
We have carried out a TDQM study of photoinduced desorption in NO/Pt b y involving hot electron transfer and allowing different residence tim es (tau(R)) On the excited state potential-energy surface. The desorpt ion probability (P-des) is dependent on tau(R), but it is clear from t he results that the substantial P-des can be accounted for by assuming tau(R) is in the range 20-60 fs. The study also accounts for vibratio nal excitation in the desorbed NO.
