We report a rotational productstate analysis of CuF molecules associatively desorbing from copper surfaces in reaction with an F2 molecular beam. Laser-induced fluorescence spectra of the X, 2+(d"= 0) manifold were recorded under conditions of coherent saturation. The rotationaldistribution was non-Boltzmann and showed a “rotational cooling effect” with an accommodation factor of 0.8 for surface temperatures between 890 and 985 K. Preliminary polarizationmeasurements showed that the J axes of the desorbing molecules are preferentially aligned parallel to the surface normal. The prevalence of helicopter motion for the associative desorption of CuF agrees with theoretical predictions of others.
