Laser induced thermal desorption and temperature programmed desorption techniques are used to study the kinetics and dynamics of simple reactive processes on surfaces and thereby obtain the properties that control the reaction mechanisms. The author have investigated three systems: (1) the adsorption and decomposition of propylene on a Si(100) surface; (2) the desorption kinetics of hydrogen recombination on the Si(100) surface; (3) the rate law and the isotope mixing between CO molecules on a K promoted Ni(111) surface.
