20. [18] more than 90% of the molecules are in the K≈1 state. The helicity quantum number m is defined as the quantized projection of K with respect to the SMB propagation direction.

23. The definition of cartwheel and helicopter motions implies the assumption of the classical concepts of a continuous angular distribution of the rotational angular momenta. This is meaningless in a strongly quantized system such as the present one, but the CW and HE concepts are still used here because they are intuitive in surface scattering processes.

25. O2 release decreases with temperature and is compatible with a higher adsorption energy of O at step sites (resulting in a lower oxidation rate) and with temperature-dependent diffusion of the reactants.
