Hot carriers at metal surfaces can drive nonthermal reactions of adsorbates. Characterizing nonequilibrium statistics among various degrees of freedom in an ultrafast time scale is crucial to understand and develop hot carrier-driven chemistry. Here we demonstrate multidimensional vibrational dynamics of carbon monoxide (CO) on Cu(100) along hot-carrier induced desorption studied by using time-...

The classical dynamics of interaction between molecular rotation and large-amplitude internal rotation is studied for a rigid twister model of hydrogen peroxide, obtained by assuming an adiabatic separation of the torsional degree of freedom from the remaining 3N 7 vibrational modes. Use of the Augustin-Miller canonical transformation to express the molecule-fixed components of the total angule...

Recently a method has been developed to decouple the equations of motion for multi-rigid body systems. In this paper, the method is first studied, then the equations of motion for a planar two degree-of-freedom robot with flexible joints are carried out using Lagaranges equations and Kanes equation with congruency transformations. Finally, the results obtained from both methods are throroughly ...
