Abstract
The reaction of hydrogen on metal surfaces is key to fundamentally understand heterogeneous catalysis. Simulating such reactions is non-trivial due to the possible quantum effects of hydrogen and surface atom motion. Especially when considering elevated surface temperatures. The quantum and classical dynamics of the scattering and reaction of H2 on Cu(111) is presented using several dynamical models. The latest results obtained are shown.
