27. Actually, this is the "heat of reaction", the difference between the energy of the free molecule and the energy gained by chemisorbing the two atoms.

34. The slight kinks between 0.1 and 0.15 eV are caused by a change in the trapping behaviour. At low energy, many bounces and snarled trajectories occur, while in this region molecules tend to dissociate after only one bounce across several unit cells. However, we do not believe that this has much significance.
