Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a one-dimensional microscopic quantum mechanical model is used to inquire whether it is possible to enhance the desorption rate by employing a laser to induce vibrational excitation of the chemisorptive bond.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the shift of the vibrational frequencies of two adsorbed molecules as a function of inter-molecular distance and various molecular and metal parameters is computed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a one-dimensional microscopic multiphonon model was used to calculate the desorption rate and investigate the role of multi-phonon processes in the process of chemisorption.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the change of the vibrational frequency of an adsorbed molecule caused by the electrostatic interaction between a chemisorbed and a metallic surface was discussed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of interaction between two charged particles on a metallic surface was investigated using the density functional formalism approach. But the interaction was cast in the form of an image interaction with a correction parameter λ, which depends on the positions of the particles.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the intensity of the vibrational spectra of diatomic molecules adsorbed on metallic surfaces was investigated using electrodynamic theory modifed by density functional calculations.
