Abstract
A simple model is proposed for molecular dissociation probabilities in impulsive collisions with surfaces. Dissociation is assumed to follow rotational excitation high enough to break the molecule. The model was tested against exact classical simulations for I2, Li2 colliding with smooth surfaces. Agreement is better than a factor of 2 over a wide range of energies.
