The reactions of gas-phase H (or D) atoms with D (or H) atoms adsorbed onto a Ni(100) surface are studied. Electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory are used to examine the interaction of H atoms ...

A simple kinetic model is used to describe the interaction of H and D atomic beams with H- and D-covered metal surfaces. The atoms incident from the gas phase can have a direct Eley-Rideal reaction with an adsorbate, ...

Quasiclassical methods are used to simulate the interactions of H or D atom beams with D- or H-covered Ni(100) surfaces. The Ni substrate is treated as a multilayer slab, and the Ni atoms are allowed to move. The model ...
