Ultrafast Surface Chemistry at LCLS
This first work:
fs-laser (400nm) induced CO desorption from Ru(0001)
x-ray free electron laser at SLAC: LCLS

Probing the Reactive State in Catalysis
Most important catalytic reactions
are driven by thermal processes
The number of turn-over events
at each active site at a given
time is extremely low
The Boltzmann energy
distribution gives only few
molecules to be in a reactive
state
Ultrafast laser-induced heating
leads to orders of magnitude
higher population of the
reactive state which can now
be probed with ultrafast
methods

New Era in Catalysis
• First surface chemical reaction with LCLS
• Proof of principle
Observation of two different excitations of CO
Strong coupling to motion parallel to the surface; early times
Precursor to desorption in a weakened surface chemical bond
• CO+O/Ru(0001)  CO2, H+CO  HCO, Fischer-Tropsch,…
• Higher pressure (~100 torr), solid-liquid interfaces, photocatalysis
• Shorter FEL pulses, THz radiation control (LCLS 2)
• “Chemist’s dream”
