A theory of phonon induced friction on molecular adsorbates
Ardavan Farahvash, Adam P. Willard
In this manuscript, we provide a general theory for how surface phonons couple to molecular adsorbates. Our theory maps the extended dynamics of a surface's atomic vibrational moti…

Modeling surface vibrations and their role in molecular adsorption: a generalized Langevin approach
Ardavan Farahvash, Mayank Agarwal, Andrew Peterson +1
The atomic vibrations of a solid surface can play a significant role in the reactions of surface-bound molecules, as well as their adsorption and desorption. Relevant phonon modes…
