Abstract
The excitation of intramolecular vibrations in the scattering of molecules from metal surfaces is investigated through the Keldysh Green function approach. The coupling between the vibrational degree of freedom and electron-hole pairs in the metal is considered for the channel of the energy transfer. It is shown that the vibrational excitation is considerably enhanced by the non-adiabatic effects appearing in the scattering of molecules from metal surfaces.
