Fingerprints of energy dissipation for exothermic surface chemical reactions: O${}_2$ on Pd(100)

Vanessa Jane Bukas, Shubhrajyoti Mitra, Joerg Meyer +1

We present first-principles calculations of the sticking coefficient of O${}_2$ at Pd(100) to assess the effect of phononic energy dissipation on this kinetic parameter. For this we…
