Using molecular dynamics, the characteristics of over-barrier hydrogen diffusion (specifically, activation energy and pre-exponential factor in the Arrhenius equation) in fcc-metals Pd, Ag, and Al are calculated. It is shown that the prevailing mechanism of the over-barrier hydrogen diffusion in fcc-metals consists in successive crossing of octahedral and tetrahedral spheres.
