title = "State-resolved dynamics of infrared photodesorption of CO from Ag(111)",
abstract = "The primary concern of this work is desorption induced by photon energies well below the work function which is nominally assumed to occur via a thermally activated process. Desorption results from random surface atom displacements which deposit vibrational energy in the absorbate metal bond in excess of the binding energy. The desorption is highest at the maximum surface temperature (MST) induced by the laser pulse which can be determined with reasonable accuracy from a classical heat-diffusion model. As a result 'thermally' desorbed molecules are expected to have internal and translational energy distributions characteristic of MST. In this work, we present state resolved measurements for IR photodesorption of CO physiosorbed on a Ag(111) surface.",
