Description

<jats:p>Photodesorption from an oxygen-saturated silicon(100) surface was studied with photons of wavelength 250–1100 nm. The desorbing species were monitored with a mass spectrometer over the mass range of 2 (H2) to 44 (CO2). Only CO2 was observed to desorb with a threshold value of ∼2.76 eV, and the desorbing signal was linearly dependent on the incident photon intensity. Perhaps most important, the photodesorption activity decreases markedly with the controlled decrease of surface impurity carbon content.</jats:p>
