Abstract: The processes of energy dissipation at solid interfaces (see Figure 1) are integral to numerous physical phenomena ranging from catalytic reactions and astrochemistry to lubrication and materials science including the development of nanostructures (Ertl, 2009; Yang and Wodtke, 2016; Park et al., 2019; Ollier et al., 2023). Despite its ubiquity and importance in both technological applications and natural systems these surface dynamical processes remain poorly understood (Yang and Wodtke, 2016; Park et al., 2019; Sacchi and Tamtögl, 2023; Yu et al., 2023). For advancements in fields like catalysis, electrochemistry, and photoactivated processes, a comprehensive understanding, including energy transfer from gas or liquid phase molecules to surfaces and how energy is further dissipated through various means, such as phonons and via electron-phonon coupling, is essential (Chadwick and Beck, 2017; Tamtögl et al., 2020). Over recent decades, both experimental and theoretical advancements have significantly enriched the field, enabling more detailed investigations of surface structures and surface dynamical processes (Meyer and Reuter, 2014; Nattino et al., 2016; Alducin et al., 2017; Maurer et al., 2019; Dou and Subotnik, 2020; Holst et al., 2021).
