DESCRIPTION:Prof. Hua Guo\nDepartment of Chemistry and Chemical Biology\nU
 niversity of New Mexico\nChemical reactions at gas-solid interfaces are of
  great importance in many heterogeneous processes such as catalysis\, corr
 osion\, and material fabrication. In this talk\, dynamics of several proto
 typical surface processes\, including dissociative chemisorption\, Eley-Ri
 deal reactions\, and desorption\, are explored theoretically on metal surf
 aces. Classical trajectories either on analytical potential energy surface
 s or with forces calculated on the fly are used to explore reaction dynami
 cs in the presence of surface phonons and electron-hole pairs. Signatures 
 of dynamics\, such as reactant mode specificity and product energy disposa
 l\, are examined and compared with available experimental data to shed lig
 ht on unique features of surface reaction dynamics. \n
