7. 0 desorption from Si(111)-7 × 7 surface have shown that the lifetime of the excited state responsible for the desorption is about 40 ps, which is much shorter than the temporal width of laser pulses used in this study (Tanimura, K., Iwata, K. and Kanasaki, J., unpublished). Although the lifetime has not yet been determined for Si(100) surface, we assume here that it is of the same order of magnitude.
