Abstract
The formation of a two-phase surface molecular overlayer that transitions from isolated propene molecules to a highly ordered 1D chain structure on Cu(111) is elucidated through combined high-resolution STM imaging and DFT-based calculations. These models reveal how disordered molecules present in-between the 1D chains stabilizes the system as a whole.

Abstract
Adsorption of organics on a silver surface is simulated. An Embedded Atom Model is used for the metal, a standard force field for the organics, and a combination of the charge equilibration model and the Morse potential for their electrostatic and nonbonding interactions. The only adjustable parameters of this approach appear in the Morse potential. They are tuned to reproduce experimental and high level quantum chemical data. The adsorption energies of 13 molecules on the Ag(111) surface are obtained with an average error of less than 1 kcal mol(-1). The model should be transferable to molecules with the same chemical groups used in regressing the potential parameters when physisorption or weak chemisorption, i.e., no bond breaking, occur, and also to other Ag surfaces. When used to simulate perylene tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PTCDA) on Ag(111), correct geometry of mono- and multilayers are observed in molecular dynamics simulations at room temperature.

Abstract
We report on the experimental evidence of the role of rotational alignment of the gas-phase molecules in the interaction of propylene with Ag(001). Molecular alignment has been controlled by a velocity selection of the impinging molecules, flying in a supersonic seeded molecular beam. The experimental findings indicate that at low surface coverage the sticking probability is independent of molecular alignment, while when coverage exceeds few percent of a monolayer, molecules impinging rotating parallel to the surface (helicopter-like configuration) achieve a higher chance to be trapped than those which impinge rotating perpendicularly (cartwheels). The sudden appearance of a large stereodynamic effect suggests that the adsorption proceeds via a mobile precursor state and is tentatively correlated with a change in the configuration of the added propylene molecules, which adsorb tilted rather than flat at the surface.

Abstract
The interaction of propene with Ag(001) is investigated by high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy and supersonic molecular beam methods under ultra high vacuum conditions. Propene adsorbs molecularly at 110 K and desorbs intact leaving a clean surface after annealing to 160 K. Two adsorption sites, characterized by slightly different vibrational modes, exist. The low frequency species is observed already at low coverage for molecules impinging at strongly hyperthermal energies while at lower translational energy it appears only at high coverage. The initial sticking probability S(0) decreases with increasing translational energy, as appropriate for nonactivated adsorption systems. The angle and energy dependence of S(0) indicate that scaling is intermediate between total and normal energy. From the coverage dependence of the sticking probability we infer that both a nonthermal intrinsic and a thermal extrinsic precursor exist.

Abstract
Determination of absolute surface coverage with sub-monolayer sensitivity is demonstrated using evanescent-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy (EW-CRDS) and conventional CRDS by employing conservation of the absolute integrated absorption intensity between gas and adsorbed phases. The first C-H stretching overtones of trichloroethylene (TCE), cis-dichloroethylene, and trans-dichloroethylene are probed using the idler of a seeded optical parametric amplifier having a 0.075 cm(-1) line width. Polarized absolute adsorbate spectra are obtained by EW-CRDS using a fused-silica monolithic folded resonator having a finesse of 28 500 at 6050 cm(-1), while absolute absorption cross sections for the gas-phase species are determined by conventional CRDS. A measure of the average transition moment orientation on the surface, which is utilized for the coverage determination, is derived from the polarization anisotropy of the surface spectra. Coverage measurement by EW-CRDS is compared to a mass-spectrometer-based surface-uptake technique, which we also employ for coverage measurements of TCE on thermally grown SiO(2) surfaces. To assess the potential for environmental sensing, we also compare EW-CRDS to optical waveguide techniques developed previously for TCE detection.

Abstract
The energy released in low-energy chemisorption or physisorption of molecules on metal surfaces is usually expected to be dissipated by surface vibrations (phonons). Theoretical descriptions of competing electronic excitations are incomplete, and experimental observation of excited charge carriers has been difficult except at energies high enough to eject electrons from the surface. We observed reaction-induced electron excitations during gas interactions with polycrystalline silver for a variety of species with adsorption energies between 0.2 and 3.5 electron volts. The probability of exciting a detectable electron increases with increasing adsorption energy, and the measured time dependence of the electron current can be understood in terms of the strength and mechanism of adsorption.
