The experiment is prepared: carbon monoxyde and atomic oxygen are coadsorbed on a ruthenium single crystal surface. You have two options:
| Start the movie to heat the ruthenium crystal thermally with a heating rate of 200 K/s. See what happens in about realtime. | Start the movie to irradiate the ruthenium crystal with a 130 fs laserpulse. See what happens in ultraslow motion (1 ps=1x10E-12 s, light travels only 0.3 mm in this span of time). |
(If You encounter problems with the embeded mp4 movies try the avi version.)
Find out what happens in the videos.

Ultrafast Surface Dynamics Group
where the real lab was operated.
