Abstract
A more complete understanding of the involvement of vibrational energy during chemical reactions of ground electronic state molecular systems may be obtained from direct measurements of vibrational population lifetimes (T1). In particular, knowledge of the magnitude of energy relaxation rates of adsorbate vibrational modes at surfaces and at reaction temperatures should yield insight into the mechanisms and macroscopic kinetics of surface chemistry and catalysis.
