Determination of molecular structure at surfaces using angle-resolved electron- and photon-stimulated desorption

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6524004
We review recent data and theoretical models related to the use of angle-resolved electron and photon stimulated desorption in determining the structures of molecules at surfaces. Examples include a variety of structural assignments based on ESDIAD (electron stimulated desorption ion angular distributions), the observation of short-range local ordering effects induced in adsorbed molecules by surface impurities, the influence of electron-beam damage on surface structure, and a direct comparison of ESD and PSD ion yields for the same system.
