Atomic hydrogen (deuterium) adsorbed onto the diamond C(111) surface has been studied by infrared-visible sum-frequency-generation spectroscopy. Monohydride termination of H/C(111) is confirmed by the observation of sharp CH stretch (2838 cm{sup {minus}1}) and CH bend (1331 cm{sup {minus}1}) modes in the spectrum. Deuterium on the surface gives a CD stretch frequency of 2115 cm{sup {minus}1}. The rate of hydrogen adsorption is measured in comparison with the rate of deuterium abstraction by hydrogen. Measurement of thermal desorption of hydrogen from C(111) suggests a near first-order desorption kinetics with an activation energy of 4.0{plus_minus}0.4 eV and a preexponential factor of 10{sup 15{plus_minus}2} s{sup {minus}1}. On the bare reconstructed C(111) surface, distinct CC surface phonon features characteristic of the (2{times}1)-reconstructed surface are seen, which seem to support the modified Pandey model of Bechstedt and Reichardt.
