Abstract
We have calculated the life time of a vibrational excited molecule, adsorbed on a metal surface, due to excitation of electron hole pairs in the metal. The metal has been treated as an interacting electron gas confined to one half space by an infinite barrier. We compare the calculated and observed life time for the CO stretching vibration mode of CO adsorbed on Cu(100).
