Coverage-Dependent Free-Energy Bottlenecks in CO Adsorption and Desorption on Ru(0001)
The adsorption and desorption of gas-phase molecules on solid surfaces are elementary steps in heterogeneous catalysis. However, capturing these dynamics under finite-temperature and coverage-dependent conditions remains challenging because static models cannot fully describe the coupled motion of adsorbates and surfac...
