New mechanism shaping the distribution of particles desorbed from a surface
Even a weak interaction of molecules with phonons as they move under the influence of surface forces can strongly affect the distribution of desorbed molecules. For the first time, a noncontradictory explanation is found for experimental data on the associative desorption of hydrogen from the surface of the metal. The explanation is based on a kinetic theory which incorporates a relaxation of an ensemble of desorbed particles involving phonons.
