32. The slopes of the uptake curves from Fig. 11 were evaluated at constant coverage to calculate the relative values of the adsorption rates for different electron energies. An Arrhenius analysis of the obtained values yielded (formula presented) as a difference of desorption and adsorption activation energies.
