The desorption of hydrogen from HOPG is an important issue in the understanding of molecular hydrogen formation on durst particles upon irradiation. Surface mediated processes lead to H atom desorption. The velocity distribution of atomic hydrogen from HOPG is examined after surface excitation with fs pulses at λ =400 nm using a Ti:sapphire laser. Desorbing neutral H atoms are ionized using (2+1) REMPI via the 2s ← 1s transition and are detected with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. As a result the velocity distribution reveals a structure consisting of different maxima for fast, medium and very slow desorbing hydrogen atoms.
Electron scattering calculations are performed employing a repulsive electronic state and the H-graphite adsorption potentials appropriate for different adsorption sites[1]. Besides populating different vibrationally excited states in multiple scattering events, velocity distributions for desorption out of different adsorption sites are obtained. A good agreement with the experimentally observed velocities is obtained, not only for the fast but also for the very slow atoms. [1]L. Hornekær et al., Phy. Rev. Lett., 96, 156104 (2006)
