N-2 desorption in the isothermal decomposition of N2O on Rh(110) at low temperatures
Transient N-2 desorption was analyzed in an angle-resolved form while a constant N2O flux was introduced to clean Rh(110) or an oxygen-modified one. Even at 60 K, the decomposition proceeded and the product N-2 desorption collimated at either 65 +/- 3degrees or 30 +/- 1degrees off normal towards the [001] direction.
