In this investigation, we have studied the kinetics and mechanism of desorption of CO from the Cu (110) surface using a new Monte Carlo simulation and putting emphasis on high order lateral interaction. According to our simulated TPD spectra, for β=10 K/s the maximum desorption rate occurs at Tm=218.6 K. Furthermore, analysis of simulated TPD spectra of CO desorption shows that it is strongly lateral-interactive and results an activation energy of CO desorption from Cu (110) that is Ed=66.6 Kj/mol. These simulated results are compared with other reported results and show excellent agreement. After that we have investigated the kinetics and mechanism of desorption of CO 2 from the Cu (100) surface using a Monte Carlo simulation. According to our simulated TPD spectra, for β=0.5 K/s the maximum desorption rate occurs at Tm=89.7 K. Analysis of simulated TPD spectra of CO 2 desorption shows that it is not strongly lateral-interactive and results in an activation energy of CO desorption from Cu (100) that is Ed=25.2 Kj/mol. Finally, the CO / Cu (110) system is compared with the CO 2/ Cu (100) system.

Here, we use temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations<br>of TPD traces to characterize the desorption kinetics of pentacene (PEN) and perfluoropentacene (PFP) on MoS2 as a model system for OSCs on TMDCs. We show that the monolayers of PEN and PFP are thermally stabilized compared to their multilayers, which allows to prepare nominal monolayers by selective desorption of multilayers. This stabilization is, however, caused by entropy due to a high molecular mobility rather than an enhanced molecule-substrate bond. Consequently, the nominal monolayers are not densely packed films.

The experimentally determined temperature programmed desorption profile of CO from Fe(100) is characterized by four maxima, i.e., α1-CO, α2-CO, α3-CO, and β-CO (see e.g., Moon et al., Surf. Sci. 1985, 163, 215). The CO-TPD profile is modeled using mean-field techniques and kinetic Monte Carlo to show the importance of lateral interactions in the appearance of the CO-TPD-profile. The inclusion of lateral interactions results in the appearance of a new maximum in the simulated CO-TPD profile if modeled using the mean-field, quasi-chemical approach or kinetic Monte Carlo. It is argued that α2-CO may thus originate from lateral interactions rather than a differently bound CO on Fe(100). A detailed sensitivity analysis of the effect of the strength of the lateral interactions between the species involved (CO, C, and O), and the choice of the transition state, which affects the activation energy for CO dissociation, and the energy barrier for diffusion on the CO-TPD profile is presented.
