Abstract
Using an infrared laser excitation/ultraviolet laser detection technique, we have studied the internal energy and state‐specific angular and velocity distributions for a molecular beam of NO(v=1) scattered from single crystal Ag(111) and Ag(110) surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). The vibrational energy survival probability is large in both cases, ∼0.9, although the details of the scattering are different for the two surfaces.
