Thermal desorption of gases from solids can be used as a simple technique for probing into the details of bonding between a gas and a solid. The flash filament method, a specific version of thermal desorption, involving use of ultra-high vacuums to follow desorption of an adsorbate from a rapidly heated filament, is a well-established technique that has provided a great deal of very valuable information on adsorption of gases on clean metal surfaces.
