Abstract

Various aspects of experiments on vibrational relaxation of molecules adsorbed on metals are considered. The necessity for time-domain pump-probe configurations is established. Since existing experiments to date have been carried out on small metal clusters, special attention here is given to the role of quantum size effects and the resulting role of the discrete electron-hole pair excitation spectrum on the observed energy/vibrational relaxation times.
