    Abstract

    Results of classical mol. dynamics simulations at low temp. of the desorption of Xe atoms from various transition metal surfaces are presented. The generalized-Langevin-equation formalism and the compensating Hamiltonian method are used. The desorption rate const. is calcd. with variational transition state theory. The effect of corrugation (Xe/Pd(100)), the coverage dependence (Xe/Pt(111)), and the effect of steps (Xe/Pt(112)) are studied. A comparison with temp.-programmed desorption spectra allows an est. to be made of the effect of the substrate on the Xe-Xe potential, and of the changes in the Xe-Pt potential at steps.
