Study of atomic/molecular hydrogen diffusion on/desorption from amorphous surfaces at low temperature

ORAL

Abstract

We present results of experiments and calculations of the interaction of atomic and molecular hydrogen with amorphous solid surfaces at low (5-20 K) temperature. We obtain information on the mechanisms and energetics of atom/molecule diffusion and desorption, and on the efficiency of molecular hydrogen formation.
