Photostimulated desorption experiments have been performed on deuterated methanol adsorbed bed on Si(111) 7 7 and Si(100) 2 1 at the C 1s and O 1s thresholds. D + and the masses of the series CD x+ are produced in the photofragmentation process in both energy ranges. A comparison has been made with the photofragmentation spectra of methanol in the gas phase and two different desorption mechanisms have been hypothesized for the desorption of D + and higher masses from the silicon surfaces at the C 1s threshold.
