The scattering of H2 from Cu(100) has been the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical stud ies. There is general agreement between theory and experiment for elastic scattering results but not in sticking or inelastic scattering measurements. LITD is developed to measure the H/Cu(100) coverage and to deter mine the sticking coefficients.

For the first excited vibrational state, the upper limit of the H2 sticking coefficient is 0.065 at Ei = 74 meV and 0.17 at Ei = 189 meV. The kinetic energy transfer during the elastic scattering of H2(v = 1,j = 1) from Cu(100) increased rapidly from ∆E = 3.1±.16 meV at Ei = 74.7 meV to ∆E = 29.5±.04 meV at Ei = 122 meV and ∆E = 54.3±.25 meV at Ei = 189 meV.
