Popis: The predesorption processes of CO and CH3F molecules from the NaCl(100) surface at very low coverage and substrate temperature are described by classical models with two non-linearly coupled degrees of freedom. The analysis of the phase space structure of these systems from the Poincare sections spanned by the canonical coordinates of the molecule-surface bond allows one to calculate the desorption rates and the asymptotic energy distributions of the desorbed molecules. It is shown that these quantities clearly reflect the presence of dynamical barriers in the phase space induced by the chaotic behaviour of the desorbing trajectories.
