The absorption of photons by an adsorbate/substrate complex may induce a wide range of
physical and chemical processes, such as desorption, dissociation and reactions. Although …

Ultrathin metal oxide films have attracted considerable interest in recent years as versatile
substrate for the design of nanocatalytic model systems. In particular, it has been proposed …

A novel experimental approach to the investigation of surface adsorbate reaction dynamics
is presented. The direct time-resolved monitoring of the surface reaction transition state and …

Quantum and mixed quantum/classical calculations of the photolysis of a HCl adsorbate on
a MgO surface are reported. In the quantum calculation of the hydrogen dynamics (with rigid …

We report a quasi-classical trajectory study of a chemical reaction between H and CO2 at
the LiF (001) surface. The reaction is initiated by photodissociation of well-aligned HBr (ad) …

The idea of using a solid surface to enhance chemical reaction yield or to alter the reaction
pathway is not new. Catalytic reactions on solid surfaces have been used extensively in …

The 2D dielectric phases and phase transitions of adsorbed dipolar molecules are modeled
using a dilute spin-one Ising model. This model is studied in the Blume–Emery–Griffiths …

In this contribution the application of ultrafast laser pulses to reveal the dynamics of chemical
reactions on metal oxide surfaces will be discussed. A combination of an optical pump …

The aim of this thesis was to monitor the dynamics of chemical reactions of molecules
adsorbed on solid surfaces in real-time by direct detection of reaction intermediates and …
