On the problem of rotational-state-dependent molecule–surface interaction: Relaxation, accommodation and trapping at low J

Abstract: In the framework of a unified kinetic theory of particle–surface interactions, dependences of the relaxation, accommodation, and trapping of molecules on their angular momentum J are discussed. One of the basic parameters of the theory, the free flight time through the interaction region, is calculated using a simple model potential for which the classical equations of motion can be integrated analytically. With increasing J, an increase in molecular relaxation and accommodation is predicted at small J, and a … Show more

“…First, surface reactivity measurements are performed by probing a single rotational state, whereas the surface reaction probability of molecules and radicals can be rotational state dependent. 25 In this and previous work, 10,12 however, no difference in surface reactivity has been observed with different rotational states of SiH or for other radicals. A second, related issue is that the rotational state of SiH can change after interacting with the substrate as a result of thermal equilibration on the surface.…”

“…There are four issues that need to be addressed associated with using the IRIS method for measuring surface reactivities of radicals. First, surface reactivity measurements are performed by probing a single rotational state, whereas the surface reaction probability of molecules and radicals can be rotational state dependent . In this and previous work, , however, no difference in surface reactivity has been observed with different rotational states of SiH or for other radicals.…”

“…A consequence is that a direct comparison between beam data and transport data is no longer possible: molecular beams produce so-called "beam accommodation coefficients" rather than the traditional "global" accommodation coefficients, which are obtainable only by integration over different directions and energies. It is fortunate that the "unified kinetic approach" developed by Borman, Krylov and coworkers does build a bridge between the two types of data sources (see, e.g., [4,5,6]).…”

“…Systems with CH 3 F, OCS, or HF as resonant gases contained in stainless steel, platinum, sapphire, quartz, glass or teflon capillaries, as well as in capillaries coated with LiF or a stearic acid monolayer have been investigated. Data obtained from these SLID experiments became the basis for testing a unified theoretical approach to particle-surface interaction [5,6]. To our knowledge, SLID has not been observed in atomic vapours.…”
