Y. Takamine et A. Namiki, ANGULAR-DISTRIBUTION OF HD PRODUCED IN THE ABSTRACTION REACTION BY INCIDENT D ATOMS ON THE MONOHYDRIDED SI(100), The Journal of chemical physics, 106(21), 1997, pp. 8935-8937
The abstraction of chemisorbed hydrogen on the Si(100) surface by atom
ic deuterium has been studied by direct observation of the reaction pr
oducts HD. The angular distribution of the HD yield is found to be shi
fted towards the specular direction of the incident D atoms by about 2
0 degrees with respect to the surface normal. The strong forward HD de
sorption is compared with the thermally associative desorption of D-2
peaking towards the surface normal. A direct Eley-Rideal mechanism is
suggested for the D abstraction reaction of the chemisorbed H atoms on
the Si(100) surfaces. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
