Scattering of current carriers on a Mo(110) surface covered with hydrogen and deuterium submonolayers

► Effect of adsorption on transport properties of single crystalline substrate. ► Adsorption of hydrogen and deuterium on Mo(110) surface. ► Experimental technique is based on the static skin-effect phenomena. ► Ordered adsorbed monolayers increase specularity of surface scattering of carriers. ► Surface electronic structure governs probability of surface-bulk carrier transitions.
