The theoretical description of photochemistry is historically based on the diabatic representation, where the diabatic models have been given the generic label desorption induced by electronic transitions (DIET) [91]. Such theories were originally developed by Menzel, Gomer and Redhead (MGR) [92,93] for repulsive excited states and later generalized to attractive excited states by Antoniewicz [94]. There are many mechanisms by which photons can induce photochemistry/desorption direct optical excitation of the adsorbate, direct optical excitation of the metal-adsorbate complex (i.e., via a charge-transfer band) or indirectly via substrate mediated excitation (e-h pairs). The differences in these mechanisms lie principally in how localized the relevant electron and hole created by the light are on the adsorbate. 

The ejection of atoms or molecules from the surface of solid in response to primary electronic excitation is referred to as electronically stimulated desorption (ESD) or desorption induced by electronic transitions (DIET). Localization of electronic excitations at the surface of RGS induces DIET of atoms both in excited and in ground states, excimers and ions. Most authors (see e.g. Refs. [8,11,23,30] and references therein) discuss their results on DIET from RGS in terms of three different desorption mechanisms namely (i) M-STE-induced desorption of ground-state atoms (ii) "cavity-ejection" (CE) mechanism of desorption of excited atoms and excimers induced by exciton self-trapping at surface and (iii) "dissociative recombination" (DR) mechanism of desorption of excimers induced by dissociative recombination of trapped holes with electrons.

An electron or photon incident on a surface can induce an electronic excitation. When the electronic excitation decays, an ion or neutral particle can be emitted from the surface as a result of the excitation. Such processes are known as desorption induced by electronic transitions (DIET) [ ]. The specific techniques are known as electron-stimulated desorption (ESD) and photon-stimulated desorption (PSD), depending on the method of...
