A one-dimensional potential well for hydrogen copper surface is used for a parametric study

atoms at the of the atomic

hydrogen recombination process. Firstly, the reflectivity coefficients of hydrogen atoms at various energies are determined using the Runge-Kutta integration method. Secondly, some low energy eigenstates of the potential well are numerically calculated and their occupation ratio according to the Boltzmann distribution is determined for different temperatures. The results of both calculations are in good agreement with experimental data on the recombination coefficient obtained by other authors.
