The energy transfer into different degrees of freedom in the fs-laser induced recombinative desorption of deuterium from Ru(001) has been investigated with (1+1’)-REMPI and time-of-flight measurements. It has been shown that hot substrate electrons mediate this reaction within a few hundred femtoseconds [1]. The rovibrational distributions of the desorbing D2 molecules are detected via various B 1 Σu+ ← X 1 Σg+ Lyman bands using tunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser radiation for the resonant excitation step [2]. Populations of the rotational quantum states in the vibrational ground and the first excited state are measured. The rotational energy of D2 in the vibrational ground state (Erot /kB=800±200 K) is much lower than the rotational energy in the excited state (Erot /kB=1500±300 K). Assuming a Boltzmann-like energy distribution, these results indicate a vibrational temperature of Evib /kB=1200±150 K. The amount of energy coupled to the translation is Etrans/kB=1700±300 K. Possible reasons for the incomplete thermalization will be discussed.
