Reaction steps between hydrogen gas molecules and Pd samples. (a) H2 molecule approaching the metal surface. (b) Interaction of the H2 molecule by Van der Waals forces (physisorbed state). (c) Chemisorbed hydrogen after dissociation. (d) Occupation of subsurface sites and diffusion into bulk lattice sites. Adapted from [19].
