Nonlinear least-squares method is used to find the LEPS parameters. For this purpose, we use the energy points which were calculated by a density-functional theory method with the generalized gradient approximation including exchange-correlation energy for various configurations of one and two hydrogen atoms on the Cu(1 1 1) surface. After the fitting procedures, two different parameters sets are obtained that the calculated root-mean-square values are close to each other. Using these sets, contour plots of the potential energy surfaces are analyzed for H -> Cu(1 1 1) and 2H -> Cu(1 1 1) interactions systems. In addition. sticking, penetration, and scattering sites on the surface are analyzed by using these setseninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPotential Energy SurfaceLEPS Surface ChemistryAdsorption HydrogenDeveloping interaction potential for H (2H) -> Cu(111) interaction system: A numerical studyDeveloping Interaction Potential for H (2h) -> Cu(111) Interaction System: a Numerical StudyArticle15364865610.1016/j.cnsns.2009.05.007
