Abstract

Based on the numerical solution of the Liouville-von Neumann equation for dissipative systems, the photodesorption dynamics of NO/Pt(111) are studied. Dissipative terms are used to describe the quenching of electronically excited states on the metal, electronic dephasing and the indirect (hot-electron mediated) excitation processes in the DIMET and DIET limits. Norm and energy flow, desorption probabilities and density time-of-flight spectra are computed.
