Abstract

The results of experiments undertaken to establish the connection between the current of ions desorbed from the surface in the presence of an electric field and the frequency of the infrared radiation incident on that surface are described. It is shown that resonance absorption of infrared radiation by adsorbed molecules increases the efficiency of the surface ionization process.
