Abstract
Even a weak interaction of molecules with phonons as they move under t he influence of surface forces can strongly affect the distribution of desorbed molecules. For the first time, a noncontradictory explanatio n is found for experimental data on the associative desorption of hydr ogen from the surface of the metal. The explanation is based on a kine tic theory which incorporates a relaxation of an ensemble of desorbed particles involving phonons.
