This lecture gives (1) a brief introductory review of energy transfer at surfaces, emphasizing the role of electron-hole pairs, the breakdown of adiabaticity, and in particular its effect on the vibrational lineshapes of adsorbed species, (2) a detailed derivation of the relevant formulas for the asymmetric lineshapes caused by electron-hole pair dissipation, and (3) an annotated bibliography which covers many important aspects not explicitly discussed.
