Abstract

For a model diatomic molecule-surface collision we show that the dynamics, as viewed in terms of the final vibrational action as a function of initial vibrational phase, exhibits a behavior that is characteristic of fractals with a dimension ≈0.6 for the diatom in its ground vibrational state (ni=0) approaching the surface with a relative translational energy (Etrans) of 0.25 eV.
