Diffraction measurements reveal a 4$^\\circ$ rotated rectangular hydrogen overstructure. Hydrogen adsorption and desorption exhibit activation barriers of $E_a=(89\\pm7)\\,$meV and $E_d=(1.8\\pm0.2)\\,$eV, respectively. Helium-3 spin-echo measurements showed no decay of the spatial correlation function (or intermediate scattering function) within the time range of the spectrometer. Hence, we are able to set lower limits for a possible hydrogen surface diffusion rate.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-12-14T11:22:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "partially hydrogenated graphene/ni", "dynamics investigations", "hydrogen surface diffusion rate", "set lower limits", "spatial correlation function" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
