Th. Her et al., SURFACE FEMTOCHEMISTRY OF CO O-2/PT(111) - THE IMPORTANCE OF NONTHERMALIZED SUBSTRATE ELECTRONS/, The Journal of chemical physics, 108(20), 1998, pp. 8595-8598
We studied the surface femtochemistry of CO/O-2/Pt(111) induced with 0
.3 ps laser pulses over a wide range of wavelength and fluence. Below
10 mu J/mm(2), the yields depend linearly on fluence. Above 10 mu J/mm
(2), the yields scale nonlinearly in the fluence. From the dependence
of the yields on wavelength, we determine that the nonlinear surface f
emtochemistry is influenced by nonthermal substrate electrons. (C) 199
