Abstract
There have been two groups of transition state rate theory employed to the study of thermal desorption spectra. To check the validity of the two theories in dispute, the thermal desorption spectrum of the hard hexagon model is calculated. An unexpectedly large difference was found in the results. The first group gives a trivial spectrum identical with that of the ideal gas, whereas the second gives a characteristic sharp peak which originates from the critical point of the hard hexagon model. The experiment of CO/Ru(001) supports the latter spectrum.
