Abstract

© The Royal Society of Chemistry. Using periodic DFT-D2 methods, atomistic simulations of interstellar H adsorption and H2 formation on a (010) Fe-containing olivine surface are presented. At variance with the (010) Mg2SiO4 surface and key to these processes are the large Fe/H interaction energies, suggesting that olivine surfaces are good reservoirs of H atoms for subsequent recombination to form H2.
