Recent progress towards a quantum theory of laser-induced desorption and related phenomena is reviewed, for specific examples. 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)
We study theoretically the coherent and correlated motion of many fermions inside an infinite square well potential. We will look at electrons and He-3 atoms, which behave very differently not only because of their masses, but also because of their different interaction potential. Also, the level of theory and the role of approximations in the solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation will be discussed
