Action spectroscopy for single-molecule reactions - Experiments and theory

The theory is applied to analysis of some highlights of the experimental results: Xe transfer, hopping of a single CO molecule on Pd(1 1 0), a dissociation of a single dimethyl disulfide (CH3S)2 and a hopping of a dissociated product, i.e., single methyl thiolate CH3S on Cu(1 1 1). It underlines that an observation of Y(V) at both bias polarities permits us to certain insight into the molecular alignment with respect to the Fermi level.
