✦ Synopsis

The dependence of the initial sticking coefficient of NO on a Pt( 111) surface has been measured as a function of initial energy and angle by molecular beam techniques. This shows a gradual decrease with increasing energy over the entire accessible energy range of 3 eV. No dissociation was observable for incident energies up to 1.5 eV. These results are shown by stochastic trajectory calculations to be qualitatively compatible with a reasonable NO-P1 ( 111) interaction potential.
