A review of the multiple roles of vibrational energy transfer in liquids. 

The width and shape of the energy loss peaks in HREELS are usually completely determined by the relatively poor instrumental resolution. This means that no information can be obtained from HREELS about such interesting chemical physics questions as vibrational energy transfer, since the influence of the time scale and mechanism of vibrational excitations at surfaces on the lifetimes, and therefore the line widths and shapes, is swamped. (Adsorbates on surfaces have intrinsic vibra-... 

The attractive energies 4D(cr/r)6 and ae2/2 r4 have two important effects on the vibrational energy transfer (a) they speed up the approaching collision partners so that the kinetic energy of the relative motion is increased, and (b) they modify the slope of the repulsive part of the interaction potential on which the transition probability depends. By letting m °°, we have completely ignored the second effect while we have over-emphasized the first. Note that Equation 12 is identical to an expression we could obtain when the interaction potential is assumed as U(r) = A [exp (— r/a)] — (ae2/2aA) — D. Similarly, if we assume a modified Morse potential of the form...

On the other hand, the similarity between metals is a characteristic of the electron-mediated vibrational energy transfer models. Here one must only calculate the population of excited electron-hole pairs at the energy of vibrational excitation, a quantity that is quite similar for many metals.b... 

Fig. 9. Incidence energy dependence of the vibrational state population distribution resulting when NO(u = 12) is scattered from LiF(OOl) at a surface temperature of (a) 480 K, and (b) 290 K. Relaxation of large amplitude vibrational motion to phonons is weak compared to what is possible on metals. Increased relaxation at the lowest incidence energies and surface temperatures are indicators of a trapping/desorption mechanism for vibrational energy transfer. Angular and rotational population distributions support this conclusion. Estimations of the residence times suggest that coupling to phonons is significant when residence times are only as long as ps. (See Ref. 58.)...

Although it falls somewhat out of the scope of this paper and has furthermore been reviewed comprehensively recently,16 it would be remiss to overlook the exciting new work on chemicurrents. As we have seen for vibrational energy transfer, it is also observed that dissipation of chemical energy released in exothermic reactions at metal surfaces may happen adiabati-cally by creation of excited phonons or nonadiabatically by excitation of...
