Quantum delocalization of hydrogen on metal surfaces

Experimental and theoretical studies on the quantum delocalization of hydrogen atoms, in particular in vibrationally excited states, on transition-metal surfaces are reviewed. The present status and remaining problems are discussed. The quantum delocalization of hydrogen atoms in the ground state is...
