The reaction probability, r, of H2 with the surface of rare earths (La, Ce, Tb, Dy) was measured by a volumetric method at 298K under ultra high vacuum condition. Initially, the surfaces of these metals exhibited the highest value, r=1. With increasing amount of hydrogen adsorbed and/or absorbed, r was decreased and then exhibited plateaux at r=10-1-10-2 where the two phases of H solid solutions and d.ihydride may coexist. Thereafter, r sharply dropped for each system. The Ce surface with the O2 preadsorption layers exhibited the highest H2 reactivity among those of the rare earths samples.
