25. The mass ratio m(NO)/m(C)≈2.5. In classical mechanics at least two bounces are required to change the sign of the NO normal momentum under the assumption that the NO molecule collides with only one carbon atom. See also Ref. [26].

The statistical simulation of the NO/graphite scattering process [28] also favors several surface oscillators which are involved in the energy exchange during the interaction.
