Density functional theory has been used to study the adsorption of molecular H-2 on a graphene layer. Different adsorption sites on top of atoms, bonds and the center of carbon hexagons have been considered and compared. We conclude that the most stable configuration of H-2 is physisorbed above the center of a hexagon. Barriers for classical diffusion are, however, very small. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
