Results were obtained from the global fit of the kinetics model to experimental desorption rates from Pt(111) and Pt(332).
The elementary rate constants are parametrized according to the Arrhenius equation: k(T) = A exp(−Ea/kBT).
Ea,hS = Ea,h + ΔEST. Since AhS ≈ Ah, the difference of activation energies ΔEST is nearly equal to the difference of binding energies ΔE0, ST.
, where D0T is derived from Ah following
