Abstract

A one-dimensional microscopic model is used to calculate the desorption rate and to investigate the role of multiphonon processes in desorption. If the vibrational frequency of the chemisorptive bond is larger than the Debye frequency, multiphonon processes of all orders must be included as in our one-dimensional microscopic multiphonon model.
