Abstract
Three-dimensional quantum dynamical study of photodesorption from surfaces based on ab initio potential energy surfaces was carried out for both the electronic ground and the excited state. With a resolution lifetime of the excited CO molecule of 10 fs, a reasonable agreement with experimental data for rotation alignment, desorption probability, and also for velocity distributions was obtained.
