This work deals with simulations of atomic hydrogen beam scattering from various surfaces. The studied surfaces are several (post-)transition metals, an insulator and graphene. Simulations were run with a self-written ...

This thesis contains experimental and theoretical fundamental studies of energy transfer processes on various surfaces via inelastic hydrogen atom scattering using the Rydberg atom tagging machine. The initial investigations ...

Part I of this work introduces a technique for the generation of H-atom pulses with unprecedented time resolution. In part II an extensive study of the associative desorption reaction of hydrogen isotopologues from metal ...

One of the goals of studying molecule-surface interactions is to understand the details of the chemical reactivity at surfaces. The exchange of energy between a gas and a solid is a complex sequence of events even when ...

I have constructed a full-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) for a H atom interacting with a Au(111) surface by fitting the analytic form of the Effective Medium Theory to density functional theory (DFT) energies. ...

Understanding the fundamentals of energy transfer between molecules and surfaces is of profound importance in modern chemistry. Here, I investigate an important energy transfer process, electron ...

In the first part, the photodissociation dynamics of methyl azide are probed by photofragment translational spectroscopy at 248 nm and 193 nm dissociation wavelengths under collision-free conditions. At 248 nm, the only ...
