The adsorption of the chiral molecule lactate on the intrinsically chiral noble metal surfaces Pt(321), Au(321) and Ag(321) is studied by Density Functional Theory calculations. We use the oPBE-vdW functional which includes van der Waals…
We scrutinize the accuracy of the pseudopotential approximation in density-functional theory (DFT) calculations of surfaces by systematically comparing to results obtained within a full-potential setup. As model system we choose the CO…

This paper investigates some of the successes and failures of density functional theory in the study of high-pressure solid hydrogen at low temperature. We calculate the phase diagram, metallization pressure, phonon spectrum, and proton…
As a model system of the adsorption process of anti-corrosion additives on a metal surface, molecular dynamics simulations of benzotriazole (BTA) molecules with copper slabs were completed. As a force field, ReaxFF was used to simulate both…
We present a mixed basis-set approach to obtain optical absorption spectra within a generalized Kohn-Sham time-dependent density functional theory framework. All occupied valence molecular orbitals (MOs) are expanded in a plane-wave (PW)…

An appropriate model Hamiltonian based formalism is proposed for a random adsorbate layer with arbitrary coverage and the ensuing two-dimensional band formation by metallic adsorbates in the monolayer regime. The coherent potential…
Applications like high density information storage, neuromorphic computing, nanophotonics, etc. require ultra-thin electronic devices which can be controlled with applied electric field. Of late, atomically thin two-dimensional (2D)…
We use Ca doping during growth of one and two monolayer thick MgO films on Ag(100) to identify the adsorption sites of individual adatoms with scanning tunneling microscopy. For this we combine atomic resolution images of the bare MgO layer…
Adsorption of CO at the Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$(001) surface was studied with low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory. In situ cleaved single crystals terminate in an almost perfect SrO surface. At 78 K,…
We demonstrate that variations in molecular chemisorption energy on different metals, different surface terminations, and different strain conditions can be accounted for by orbital-specific changes in the substrate electronic structure.…
