Y. Ashkenazy et I. Kelson, Site and interaction dependence of nuclear stimulated desorption from structured surfaces, SURF REV L, 6(5), 1999, pp. 613-619
Molecular dynamics calculations of low energy Nuclear Stimulated Desorption
(NSD) of Cd-107 from a palladium substrate are presented. The characterist
ics of the desorption probability are shown to be related both to the site
occupied by the Cd-107 and to the adsorbate-substrate interaction. The quan
titative implications of the theoretical calculations to a specific experim
ental scenario are discussed, based on preliminary measurements of Cd-107 d
esorption from palladium.
