A new generation of experimental techniques quantifies the gas–surface reactivity of
polyatomic reactants prepared in a single quantum state. These experiments eliminate …

The implementation and application of six-dimensional (6D) quantum dynamical methods to
the dissociative chemisorption of H2 on metal surfaces is reviewed. The validity of the …

Low-energy heavy-ion fusion reactions are governed by quantum tunneling through the
Coulomb barrier formed by the strong cancellation of the repulsive Coulomb force with the …

An updated fourth edition of the text that provides an understanding of chemical
transformations and the formation of structures at surfaces The revised and enhanced fourth …

More than five years have passed since the first edition of this book was published. Surface
science is still a very active field of research, and the fact that the Nobel Prize 2007 in …

Atomic beam techniques are presently being used in many branches of surface physics
such as studies of the particle-surface physisorption potential, surface structure, surface …

Owing to the development of efficient algorithms and the improvement of computer power it
is now possible to map out potential energy surfaces (PESs) of reactions at surfaces in great …

We review recent progress in the understanding of the chemical dynamics of gas− surface
reactions. Such reactions can involve many dynamically distinct interactions. Our review …

We present ab initio density functional calculations within the generalized gradient
approximation for H 2 dissociating over Cu (111). The minimum barrier for dissociation is 0.5 …

The question of which forms of energy can best promote activated processes is central to the
field of chemical reaction dynamics. An important goal of this field then is to determine which …
