The kinetics of desorption in the presence of a gas phase of the desorbing molecule: CO/Re(001)
TPD/Exchange from CO/Re(001) in a gas ambience showed that the absolute rate of desorption depends on the gas pressure and has a first plus second order rate law. It is proposed that desorption is a two step p...
