The dynamics of chemisorbed species as they swing to-and-fro on their adsorption sites may be directly observed with electron-stimulated desorption. The observation of the thermal disorder in adsorbate chemical bond directions, through studies of the thermal excitation of librational modes, allows one to visualize the potential energy surfaces controlling the structure and dynamics of adsorbates on single crystal metal and semiconductor surfaces. This information may be useful in understanding surface diffusion as well as the spatial aspects of surface chemical reactions.
随着化学吸附物种在吸附位置上来回摆动，它们的动态可以通过电子刺激解吸直接观察到。通过研究转动模式的热激发，观察吸附物化学键方向的热无序，可以直观地了解控制单晶体金属和半导体表面吸附物结构和动力学的势能表面。这些信息对于理解表面扩散以及表面化学反应的空间方面可能是有用的。
