Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In my work, I investigated the quantum-state resolved scattering of three different diatomic molecules (NO, CO, N2) from different surfaces, including Au(111) and Pt(111). I focused on measurements of the energy transfer between the various degrees of freedom available using both state-of-the-art and new methods developed in the course of this work. I strove to investigate a few simple model systems with the goal of discovering generally valid rules for the coupling between different degrees of freedom of these simple model systems. As a first system, I investigated vibrationally inelastic ...
