Abstract
This paper presents a unified theory of the coherent, multiple-photon excitation and laser-stimulated migration of atoms adsorbed on solid surfaces. We show that under steady-state excitation the migration of the adsorbed atom on the surface is diffusional, with diffusion constant dependent upon field intensity, surface temperature, relaxation constants, dipole moment strength, laser frequency, and the vibrational frequency of the adsorbed atom. In particular, it is shown that the rate of diffusion is proportional to the field intensity. Finally, we discuss the utility of laser-stimulated migration in the enhancement of surface chemical reactions, as well as in the analysis of surface relaxational processes.
