Zx. Wang et al., THEORETICAL RESEARCH OF ADSORPTION, VIBRA TION AND SURFACE-DIFFUSION OF HYDROGEN-ATOM ON THE NI STEPPED SURFACE, Huaxue xuebao, 52(3), 1994, pp. 209-216
The adsorption and vibration of a hydrogen atom on the Ni(510) steped
surface was studied by means of the pairpotential method. Calculation
results are well agreement with the experimental results. The adsorpti
on and diffusion of a hydrogen atom on the Ni(997) steped surface was
also studied. By the analysis theoretically, the role of step is that
the trapping potential wells are formed for the diffusion of a hydroge
n atom on the lower terrace and the reflective potential is set up for
that on the upper terrace, which also give support to experimental re
sults satisfactorily.
