• desorption term Rd = −kdx1(1 − x2)exp(U(x1)/kBT) is defined by the desorption rate kd = ωexp(−Ed/kBT), where Ed is the desorption energy, and the interaction potential U(x1), including adsorbate–adsorbate and elastic adsorbate–substrate interactions. Transference reactions between layers describe a decrease

This result suggests that the longer the alkyl chain, the larger the proportion of stabilization energy caused by the alkyl chains in

• unit form weakly bound dimers with Au–Au interactions. In contrast, two molecules in the unit cell show Au–Au distances above 4.0 Å and should basically be considered monomeric. These monomerically bound MeAuPMe3 molecules have a lower desorption energy, allowing them to leave to the gas phase. Once

E1 is the interaction energy of the first monolayer with the substrate, whereas E2 is the desorption energy for all subsequent monolayers, representing the interaction between molecules adsorbed

This approach is the same followed by the Brunauer, Emmet, Teller (BET) adsorption model [43], with a different desorption energy value for the first monolayer than for the rest, and E2 usually taken as the vaporization enthalpy. E2 is therefore the standard desorption energy

Christy measured Edes in a FEBIP experiment for a siloxane (tetramethyl tetraphenyl trisiloxane, DC-704 pump oil) and found that the value found from the FEBIP experiment underestimates the desorption energy by a factor of two to three compared to reference values [14][15].
