The NO molecules adsorb in the same >ires on the Pd(100)p(t × 1)H surface a,, on the clean Pd(100) surface. The NO adlayer forces the hydrogen atoms to move deeper into the substrate.

H O L L O W A Y Surface Science Research Centre, University of Liverpool, P.O. Box 147, Lit~erpool L69 3BX. UK Received 21 June 1988; accepted for publication 28 September 1988 The activated adsorption of H 2 on the Cu(100) surface has been modeled quantum mechanically using an ab initio potential energy surface. The time evolution of a molecular wavepacket has been calculated using the split operator method of Fleck, Morris and Feit. The dissociation probability, So and transition probabilities to excited vibrational states of the scattered molecules were calculated for various initial incident translational energies, E ± , vibrational states. The results are explained in terms of tunneling through an activation barrier in the vibrational coordinate. A comparison with results for S0 based on classical trajectory calculations is made.
