Abstract

Multiphoton resonance ionization spectroscopy has been used to determine the polar-angle and the kinetic-energy distributions of rhodium atoms desorbed from ion-bombarded Rh{100} surface in the fine-structure components of the a 4Fj (J=9/2 and 7/2) ground-state multiplet. The peak in the energy distribution of the metastable level (4F7/2 with excitation energy of 0.2 eV) is found to occur roughly at the same value as the ground-state (4F9/2) distribution but decays more gradually at higher energies. The measured spectra have been used to investigate the dependence of the excitation probability on the takeoff angle (θ) as well as the emission velocity (v). It is shown that the excitation probability depends strongly on these parameters, approaching an exponential dependence on l/[v cos(θ)] at higher velocities (> 5×l05cm/sec).
