Surface phenomena : Measurements of absolute probabilities are reported for the vibrational excitation of NO( v =0→1,2) molecules scattered from a Au(111) surface. These measurements were quantitatively compared to calculations based on ab initio theoretical approaches to electronically nonadiabatic molecule–surface interactions. Good agreement was found between theory and experiment (see picture; T s =surface temperature, P =excitation probability, and E =incidence energy of translation).
