Abstract
The study of Desorption Induced by Electronic Transitions (DIET) has enjoyed rapid growth over the past two decades. DIET processes have been experimentally and theoretically investigated by many different researchers representing diverse disciplines. It is the purpose of this book to examine and synthesize information and concepts from a number of research directions that in the past have been widely separated but are suddenly converging on identical theoretical and in some cases experimental challenges. Included are electron-stimulated desorption (ESD), photon-stimulated desorption (PSD), bond distance measurements by the surface X-ray absorption fine structure method (SEXAFS), excited neutral desorption, and bombardment-induced erosion of condensed gases and alkali halides.
