Kinetics of low-temperature hydrogen and deuterium adsorption on W(110) and Mo(110) surfaces have been studied by the “real-time” Monte Carlo simulations. Recently reported qualitative dependence of the adsorption characteristics on variation of the H2 flux is described in terms of the dynamical equilibrium between incident and desorption fluxes and improved conditions for accommodation for the hydrogen molecules at high incident fluxes. The role of the intrinsic precursor state in hydrogen dissociative adsorption is analyzed.
