Abstract

Atomic hydrogen is employed for research in the surface science field as a reagent for rapidly producing chemisorbed hydrogen on semiconductor surfaces and also on metal surfaces that do not readily dissociate molecular H2. The surface chemistry of atomic hydrogen has been investigated as early as the work of Langmuir (J Am Chem Soc 34:1310, 1912, J Am Chem Soc 37:417, 1915) who first produced it on a hot tungsten filament.

It is interesting to note that in these studies, the maximum in H2 dissociation probability is not reached until tungsten temperatures above 2400 K are employed. This may be due to the presence of gas phase collisions here, where collisionless conditions generally apply in sources used for surface studies in ultrahigh vacuum
