a

Results were obtained from the global fit of the kinetics model to experimental desorption rates from Pt(111) and Pt(332).

b

The elementary rate constants are parametrized according to the Arrhenius equation: k(T) = A exp(−Ea/kBT).

c

Ea,hS = Ea,h + ΔEST. Since AhSAh, the difference of activation energies ΔEST is nearly equal to the difference of binding energies ΔE0, ST.
