Abstract
The authors discuss the origin of a compensation effect in thermal desorption kinetics that can arise from phase transitions in the adsorbate-substrate system. The authors demonstrate that the continuity of the chemical potential through a phase transition underlies this effect. They then cite specific examples in which a phase change in the adsorbate-substrate system produces compensating changes in the Arrhenius parameters that characterize the thermal desorption rate.
