Abstract

Adsorption of H2 on Li and Cs substrates at low temperature is investigated theoretically by means of Density Functional and Path Integral Monte Carlo calculations. Qualitative and semi-quantitative agreement is observed between the two methods. Adsorption on Li is observed to occur through completion of successive solid layers, whereas resugts for a Cs substrate are consistent with absence of wetting at low temperature.
