Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Photoinduced charge-transfer (CT) dissociation of adsorbates is reported in this paper for a series of chloromethanes (RCl) adsorbed on Ag(111). The chloromethanes were CCl, CHCl, CHCl , CHCl, and CClBr. The observation that Cl ions were emitted following UV laser irradiation of the chloromethane covered metal surface gave direct evidence for CT photodissociation RCl/Ag(111)+hv→(RCl)/ Ag(111)→Cl+R/Ag, in which a photoexcited substrate electron caused dissociation of RCl. The yield of Cl emission for varying R decreased in a manner similar to the gas-phase dissociative attachment cross sections at low electron energy (< 1 eV) for RCl (σ). The cross section for Cl emission as a function of RCl coverage showed a sharp maximum at the completion of the first molecular layer of CCl, CHCl, CHCl, and CClBr. This enhanced cross section was ascribed to exothermicity of a photoreaction of R with the metal surface which imparted translational energy to Cl permitting it to escape from its image potential. The cross section, σ for photoinduced surface reaction yielding Cl-Ag(111) at the RCl covered surface was measured for CCl , CHCl, CHCl, and CH Cl, The yield of Cl-Ag(111) for varying R was found to change in a manner similar to the total low energy electron capture cross section in the gas phase σ. The yield decreased only slightly with increasing laser wavelength in striking contrast to the direct photolysis cross section. A CT mechanism was proposed in which a temporary negative ion formed by photoinduced CT reacted with the metal surface RCl/Ag(111) +hv→(RCl )→R/Cl-Ag(111. This CT photoreaction was shown to occur with a photon energy ∼1 eV below the work function. Hot electrons, rather than free electrons, were the major agent for inducing photoreaction at all wavelengths. © 1993 American Institute of Physics.
