Abstract: Detailed theoretical treatment and model calculations for describing the interaction between species
and solid surface, in the presence of a monochromatic electromagnetic field (laser field) throughout the
chemisorption process, have been developed. Our previous work for the scattering process in the presence of
laser field and the well known Anderson model for atomic chemisorption are the basis in deriving our
theoretical treatment. The derived occupation number and the chemisorption energy are presented as a function
of laser parameters and normal distance from the surface as the adatom approaches to the surface. The model
calculation is applied to the Na/W(111) system for it's experimental and academic importance. Many important
features are explained concerning the adatom charge state and the bonding type. One can conclude that the
laser field is a controlling tool of ionization and bonding type, which is experimentally the truth.
Keywords: chemisorption process; monochromatic electromagnetic field; occupation number; chemisorption
energy;

I. Introduction
Surface chemical reactions, in which at least one of the reaching species is adsorbed on solid surface, are
important for chemical industry. It is hence of interest to investigate laser-stimulated surface processes [1] which
include surface excitation [2-4], desorption [5,6], dissociation [7,8] and catalysis [9]. Laser-stimulated surface
processes have been investigated during the past several years, due to both their academic interest and industrial
potential. Recent progress in the experimental and theoretical studies and applications of laser-stimulated surface
processes have been reported [10]. Laser excitation or desorption of adspecies have been investigated
theoretically by a variety of techniques including Morse potential models [11] and master equation approaches
[12]. Since the charge transfer is the essence of chemistry, surface catalysis would be greatly affected by this
phenomenon. With laser, chemists have begun to control chemical reaction dynamics in gas-phase reactions and
the reactions occurring at the gas-solid interface [13]. In this paper, the chemisorption of atoms on solid surfaces
in the presence of laser field is studied. The theoretical treatment in our pervious works [14-16] and the well-
known Anderson model [17,18] for atomic chemisorption are our basis in deriving the occupation numbers and
the binding energy formulas in the static case of u (atomic velocity) 0 .
In order to develop a "basis treatment", many complications must be avoided such as,
1. The variation of the screening length with laser field parameters is not taken into account.
2. The dependence of the intra-atomic Coulomb interaction on laser field parameters is not considered as well
as the correlation effect on the surface site.
3. The electronic excitations in the adatom-surface orbitals are neglected.
4. The effect of surface temperature is not considered since by including it, one must establish the heating of
the system due to laser field.
Each of these remarks may have a wide-range of researching both theoretically and experimentally, which may
be considered as future work.
II. Derivation of the Adatom Occupation Numbers
To derive a formula for the occupation number
A
n of the adatom level, we get use of the following equation
that is derived in our previous paper [15](eq. (20)),

which is treated firstly as the velocity of the atom goes to zero. This means, that the occupation number and all
the related chemisorption functions are calculated as a function of the normal distance Z from the surface. By
using the following definitions,

The first term of eq. (4) includes the adatom energy level broadening due to coupling interaction with the surface
band levels while the third one includes the adatom level broadening due to laser field coupling interaction. The
second one includes the interference between the two over mentioned coupling interactions. Then by using the
definition of the atomic level broadening [19], we can write

As our derivation works in the limit 0 u , the atomic level broadenings are written as a function of the
normal distance. So eq. (4) can be written in the wide band approximation limit as,

IV. The Chemisorption Energy
The chemisorption energy,
che
E , in general, is defined as being the difference between the final and the initial
energies of the system. According to Anderson model, the chemisorption energy is the change in the initial
ground state energy on switching on the coupling. In general, the chemisorption energy is divided into two parts.
These are the metallic part and the ionic part [28].
The metallic part of the bond energy, results from allowing the valance electron of the adatom to spread
throughout the metal and the metal electrons to spread a bit into the region of the adatom. This part is given by

Note that in eq. (24), the laser field frequency is added explicitly to the atomic energy levels positions and the
broadening due to laser field is also add to the broadening function due to coupling interaction. The ionic energy
is the energy associated with bringing a unit of charge infinitely far removed from the metal up to a distance Z
from the surface. However as the atom is brought to the surface, its sharp state broadens and overlaps a bit with
the metal conduction band such that the effective net charge on the ion is now a function of distance [29],

Finally, eq. (26) is calculated numerically to get the total chemisorption energy,

The dominant energy contribution depends on
1- Whether the adatom is one of electronegative nature or electropositive one.
2- The surface electronic structure, i.e. whether the surface is clean or not.
3- The laser field parameters.

V. Results and Discussion
We apply our theoretical treatment to real systems in order to extract some physical useful conclusions
about the effects of laser field throughout the chemisorption process. The model calculation is applied to the
system of Na on W(111). The chemisorption dynamics of Na-atom ( ) eV 14 . 5 V

on transition metal surface because it gives the general physical features for their chemisorption dynamics, while

To calculate the occupation numbers
o
A
n and all the related chemisorption functions, eqs. (21) and (18) are
solved self-consistently to determine the adatom charge state as it approaches to the surface. So the initial
conditions at large distance from the surface are,

(29)
The occupation numbers and the related chemisorption functions are considered as an "input-data" to
calculate the chemisorption energy and its contributions. This energy is calculated as a function of normal
distance to the surface, i.e. the potential energy surfaces. This step is an important one in the chemisorption
theory calculation. Since, the potential energy surfaces give the type of bonding at every normal distance from
surface, which is what one needs for comparison with the experimental foundings.

chemisorption energy and the ionic part has relatively very small contribution. It is well known that the Na atom
adsorbed at W surface as positive ion with ionic bond [22] but by using laser field the Na atom also adsorbed as
positive ion but with metallic bond. From this, one can conclude that the type of bond on the surface can be
controlled by laser field. This is not contracted with the experimental role of using laser field for the desorption
of atoms or ions from solid surfaces. Finally, to know more about laser effect, , E ( E

VI. Conclusions
1. Our theoretical treatment and the model calculation describe and explain precisely the dynamics of the
chemisorption process in the presence of laser field throughout potential surfaces calculations.
2. One of the most interesting features in our treatment is introducing the level broadening due to the
interference between the electronic coupling and the laser field coupling interactions.
3. The laser field is a tool for controlling the charge states on the adatom and the type of bonding with solid
surface.
4. Our theoretical treatment for the chemisorption process illustrates all the reaction dynamics for the
adsorption process, which we consider as a "basis treatment" for other related surface processes such as
adatom desorption from solid surface.
