By applying a corrugation-reducing procedure we have interpolated the six-dimensional (6D) potential energy surfaces for the H-2/Pt(111) and H-2/Cu(100) systems from data obtained by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We have compared interpolated values with a large number of DFT results not used in the basis for the interpolation and we have obtained an average error below 20 meV and a maximum error of about 30 meV in the regions important for dissociative adsorption. Near the surface the corrugation-reducing procedure gives excellent results using only data from high-symmetry sites. However, we show that to reach the above mentioned accuracy level far from the surface, it is necessary to include information from at least one low-symmetry site. Care has been taken to demonstrate the quality of the interpolation along all degrees of freedom in different regions of the configuration space. The strengths of the method are shown together with the aspects requiring careful handling. A comparison with a direct interpolation method is also made. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
