Abstract
Rapid thermal desorption of a di-atomic molecule following irradiation of the surface by a short laser or electron beam pulse has been studied. The calculations were performed using a stochastic trajectory method in which the adsorbate motion is described by effective equations of motion. The simulations yield information about various distribution functions of the desorbates such as translational and internal energies, as well as angular and residence time. These distribution functions were computed for various adsorption geometries, molecular force constants and surface corrugation.
