Hydrogen Recombination on Graphitic Surfaces

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Dynamics of Gas-Surface Interactions

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Surface Sciences ((SSSUR,volume 50))

Abstract

The detailed mechanisms behind the interaction of atomic hydrogen with graphitic surfaces and the formation of H2 molecules on these substrates have attracted much attention in the last decades because of their possible relevance in astrophysics, nuclear fusion, hydrogen storage and carbon-based nanotechnology. Here we summarize and critically analyze experimental and theoretical results within the field, with the aim of elucidating the complicated processes occurring in these systems.

Notes

  1. 1.

    They correspond to the same “molecular orbital”, and are split by the exchange interaction in the spin-polarized formalism used in the calculations of Ref. [38].

  2. 2.

    Classically speaking, even assuming that the reaction probability is independent of the “impact parameter”, one needs to know the maximum value of such a parameter for which reaction occurs.
