I have examined the dynamics of energy transfer in the CO/Au(111) system to determine the probability of direct vibrational excitation. In contrast to earlier studies of NO/Ag(111), NH3/Au(111), and H2/Cu(111), no direct vibrational excitation is observed. Measurements have been made using molecular beam techniques to control the collision energy Ei and angle θi and using laser ionization detection to probe the internal state distributions of the scattered molecules. The probability of direct vibrational excitation is found to remain below 10−3 for Ei up to 1.4 eV at surface temperatures Ts of 300 and 800 K and θi=10°. I have also determined the probability of deexcitation for CO(v=1) colliding with Au(111). Within the uncertainties (∼20%), no deexcitation is apparent for Ei in the range 0.2–1.1 eV with Ts=300 K. With Ts=800 K and Ei=1.1 eV, the survival probability was also indistinguishable from unity. As part of this study, I have determined the variation of the trapping probability of CO on Au(111) as...
