Continuum elastic theory of adsorbate vibrational relaxation
An analytical theory is presented for the damping of low-frequency adsorbate vibrations via resonant coupling to the substrate phonons. The system is treated classically, with the substrate modeled as a semi-infinite elastic continuum and the adsorbate overlayer modeled as an array of point masses connected to the surface by harmonic springs. The theory provides a simple expression for the rela...
متن کاملAdsorbate vibrational mode enhancement of radiative heat transfer and van der Waals friction
We study the dependence of the heat transfer and the van der Waals friction between two semi-infinite solids on the dielectric properties of the bodies. We show that the heat transfer and van der Waals friction at short separation between the solids may increase by many orders of magnitude when the surfaces are covered by adsorbates, or can support low-frequency surface plasmons. In this case t...
متن کاملControlling adsorbate vibrational lifetimes using superlattices
We propose using short-period superlattices as substrates to control the vibrational relaxation dynamics of adsorbate overlayers. The mass modulation of superlattices creates both band gaps and large spectral enhancements in the phonon density of states. These modifications can dramatically alter the coupling between vibrational modes of the adsorbate overlayer and the substrate lattice, thereb...
متن کاملElectron Heating by ICRF Mode-Conversion Heating in LHD
Electron heating regime using with radio-frequency waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) has been investigated in helical magnetic configuration. Mode-conversion scenario was applied to the LHD plasmas. When the wave frequency is change to be lower than that in the standard ICRF heating (minority ion heating) condition, the resonance layers are moved away to the peripheral regi...
متن کاملSubstrate-Adsorbate Coupling in CO-Adsorbed Copper.
The vibrational properties of carbon monoxide adsorbed to the copper (100) surface are explored within density-functional theory. Atoms of the substrate and adsorbate are treated on an equal footing in order to examine the effect of substrate–adsorbate coupling. This coupling is found to have a significant effect on the vibrational modes, particularly the in-plane frustrated translation, which ...
