These comprise the photodesorption of NO from Pt(111), the scanning tunnelling microscope and laser- induced desorption and switching of H at Si(100), and the electron stimulated desorption and dissociation of CO at Ru(0001). The theoretical methods used for nuclear dynamics range from open-system density matrix theory over nonadiabatically coupled multi-state models to electron-nuclear wavepackets. Also, aspects of time-dependent spectroscopy to probe ultrafast nonadiabatic processes at surfaces will be considered for the example of two-photon photoemission of solvated electrons in ice layers on Cu(111) Y1 - 2006 UR - https://publishup.uni-potsdam.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/12243 UR - http://iopscience.iop.org/0953-8984/18/30/S05/pdf/0953-8984_18_30_S05.pdf SN - 1361-648X SN - 0953-8984 VL - 18 IS - 30 SP - S1425 EP - S1459 PB - IOP Publ.
