Abstract

A model is formulated and applied to the recently measured vibrational and translational accommodation of NO scattered from a Pt(111) crystal surface. The model assumes that the initial adsorption of NO occurs via a precursor state. Experimentally observed memory of the incident energy by the scattered molecules is a result of competition between chemisorption and desorption from the precursor state.
