Significant Quantum Effects in Hydrogen Activation
Dissociation of molecular hydrogen is an important step in a wide variety of chemical, biological, and physical processes. Due to the light mass of hydrogen, it is recognized that quantum effects are often important to its reactivity. However, understanding how quantum effects impact the reactivity of hydrogen is still in its infancy. Here, we examine this issue using a well-defined Pd/Cu(111) ...
متن کاملQuantum Effects in the Diffusion of Hydrogen on Ru(0001)
An understanding of hydrogen diffusion on metal surfaces is important not only for its role in heterogeneous catalysis and hydrogen fuel cell technology but also because it provides model systems where tunneling can be studied under well-defined conditions. Here we report helium spin-echo measurements of the atomic-scale motion of hydrogen on the Ru(0001) surface between 75 and 250 K. Quantum e...
متن کاملQuantum Electrodynamics Effects in Rovibrational Spectra of Molecular Hydrogen.
The dissociation energies from all rovibrational levels of H2 and D2 in the ground electronic state are calculated with high accuracy by including relativistic and quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects in the nonadiabatic treatment of the nuclear motion. For D2, the obtained energies have theoretical uncertainties of 0.001 cm(-1). For H2, similar uncertainties are for the lowest levels, while f...
متن کاملNuclear quantum effects and hydrogen bond fluctuations in water.
The hydrogen bond (HB) is central to our understanding of the properties of water. However, despite intense theoretical and experimental study, it continues to hold some surprises. Here, we show from an analysis of ab initio simulations that take proper account of nuclear quantum effects that the hydrogen-bonded protons in liquid water experience significant excursions in the direction of the a...
متن کاملQuantum effects of hydrogen nuclei on a structure and a dynamical rearrangement of hydrogen-bond networks
To understand anomalous energetics and dynamics in water, nuclear quantum effects such as zero-point energy and delocalization of wave packets(WPs) representing water hydrogen atoms should be essential. However, since quantum calculations of many-body dynamics are highly complicated in general, none has yet directly viewed the quantum WP dynamics of hydrogen atoms in liquid water. Our semiquant...
