Laser-synchrotron studies of the dynamics of UV-photon-stimulated desorption in alkali halides

Description

Laser-synchrotron studies of neutral alkali emission from alkali halide crystals are yielding new insights into the dynamics of energy absorption, energy localization and bond-breaking in photon-stimulated desorption. The ground-state neutral desorption is triggered by the thermal diffusion of photon-induced electronic defects; however, the excited-state neutral alkalis are formed in a surface-specific process on an extremely short time scale. In addition, there is new evidence for a surface overlayer which retards substrate desorption, thus suggesting a new approach to the optical damage problem at ultraviolet wavelengths. 8 references
