Photostimulated desorption of metal atoms from surfaces of transparent insulators
It has been found that illumination of the surface of a transparent insulator affects the adsorption of metal atoms there. It has also been found that there is a photoevaporation of the atoms making up a metal film on such a surface. The mechanism for the effect of the light is nonthermal in all cases.
