Author(s): Alexander Spears, Wojciech G. Stark, and Reinhard J. Maurer Ultrafast light-driven chemical dynamics at surfaces are governed by energy transfer from excited electrons to vibrational degrees of freedom. When this nonadiabatic energy transfer is anisotropic, it can lead to dynamical steering effects that affect reaction probabilities or nonthermal final energ… [Phys. Rev.
