Abstract
Ultrafast laser pulses can produce high transient electronic temperatures (thousands of degrees) in a metal with only a modest rise in the lattice temperature. Recent studies of the desorption of NO molecules from a Pd(111) surface under such conditions revealed a novel desorption mechanism1 associated with this high electronic temperature.
