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 …

THE unique role that gold plays in society is to a large extent related to the fact that it is the
most noble of all metals: it is the least reactive metal towards atoms or molecules at the …

Based on density functional theory calculations of H2 dissociation on Al (111), Cu (111), Pt
(111) and Cu3Pt (111) we present a consistent picture of some key physical properties …

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 …

This book provides a detailed presentation of modern quantum theories for treating the
reaction dynamics of small molecular systems. Its main focus is on the recent development …

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 …

Methods for accurately computing the interaction of molecules with metal surfaces are
critical to understanding and thereby improving heterogeneous catalysis. We introduce an …

We review the state-of-the-art in the theory of dissociative chemisorption (DC) of small gas
phase molecules on metal surfaces, which is important to modeling heterogeneous catalysis …
