Abstract
We study the desorption mechanism of hydrogen isotopes from graphene surface using first-principles calcula-tions,with focus on the effects of quantum tunneling.At low temperatures,quantum tunneling plays a dominant role in the desorption process of both hydrogen monomers and dimers.In the case of dimer desorption,two types of mechanisms,namely the traditional one-step desorption in the form of molecules(molecular mechanism),and the two-step desorption in the form of individual atoms(atomic mechanism),are studied and compared.For the ortho-dimers,the dominant desorption mechanism is found to switch from the molecular mechanism to the atomic mechanism above a critical temperature,which is～300K and 200 K for H and D,respectively.
