Abstract
A study of rotational alignment of the laser induced nonthermal desorption of carbon monooxide (CO) adsorbed on an epitaxially grown film of Cr2O3(0001) was reported. An exact time-dependent wave packet method in three dimensions was used to simulate the stereodynamic effects and velocity distributions of the desorbing species were resolved by stereodynamic effects. Ab initio potential energy surfaces (PES) were used as a basis for the quantum-mechanical treatment of the CO desorption.
