Born Oppenheimer Dynamics Near Metal Surfaces

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-09-07 v1 Materials Science

Abstract

We discuss the usefulness of Born-Oppenheimer potential surfaces for nuclear dynamics for molecules strongly coupled to metal surfaces. A simple model demonstrating the construction of such surface for a molecular junction is discussed.
