We present trends in the multilayer relaxations of several vicinals of Cu(100) and Cu(111) of varying terrace widths and geometry. The electronic structure calculations are based on density functional theory in the local density…
Molecular adsorbates on metal surfaces exchange energy with substrate phonons and low-lying electron-hole pair excitations. In the limit of weak coupling, electron-hole pair excitations can be seen as exerting frictional forces on…
Full-dimensional reactive potential energy surfaces (PESs) for the OCS$^+$ cation are constructed to describe S$^+$ loss in the electronic ground state and seven low-lying electronically excited states. High-level \textit{ab initio}…
The success of density functional theory for the description of the adsorption of atoms on surfaces is well established, and based on recent calculations using gradient corrections, it has been shown that it also describes well the…
The Newns-Anderson Hamiltonian is widely used to describe adsorption at gas-solid interfaces, yet its construction typically relies on simplifying assumptions such as constant coupling and the wideband limit approximation. Here, we present…
Large scale first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) employing two different methods (atomic orbitals and plane wave basis sets) were used to study the energetics, geometry, the electronic charge redistribution…
Using a first-principles parameterized lattice-gas Hamiltonian we study the adsorbate ordering behavior at atomic steps of a Pd(100) surface exposed to an oxygen environment. We identify a wide range of gas-phase conditions comprising near…
Atomic configurations of two or three Pd substituents on the Au(111) surface are investigated using the first-principles pseudopotential plane wave approach. Pd atoms are found to form second neighborhoods on PdAu(111). The Pd-d band…
Recent experiments on the silicon terminated $3\times 2$ SiC(100) surface indicated an unexpected metallic character upon hydrogen adsorption. This effect was attributed to the bonding of hydrogen to a row of Si atoms and to the…
The first principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used to investigate the atomic and electronic properties of thiadiazole adsorption on the Si(001) surface. A (2x2) reconstructed clean substrate surface has been…
Metal nanoparticle surfaces comprise of multiple planes with various atomic arrangements that interact with gases differently1,2. Identification of gas adsorption properties on all facets is an essential prerequisite for rational design of…
The geometric, electronic, energetic, and dynamic properties of 1-propanol adsorbed on the Si(001)-2x1 surface are studied from first principles by use of a slab approach. The 1-propanol molecule initially interacts with the Si surface…
The adsorption of volatile molecules onto dust grain surfaces fundamentally influences dust-related processes, including condensation of gas-phase molecules, dust coagulation, and planet formation in protoplanetary disks. Using advanced…
Adsorption of Fe on the rutile (110)-surface is investigated by means of {\it ab initio} density functional theory calculations. We discuss the deposition of single Fe atoms, an increasing Fe coverage, as well as the adsorption of small Fe…
The adsorption and diffusion of H atoms on beta-PtO2(001) surface have been studied using first-principles calculations. The chemisorbed H atoms are found to bind preferentially on the top sites of O atoms due to the much larger adsorption…
Three-dimensional charge density maps computed by first-principles methods provide information about atom positions and the bonds between them, data which is particularly valuable when trying to understand the properties of point defects,…
Surface-state mediated interactions between adsorbates on surfaces can be exploited for the fabrication of self-organized nanostructures such as two-dimensional superlattices of adatoms. Using angle-resolved photoemission we provide…
Oxygen adsorption on delta-Pu (100) and (111) surfaces have been studied at both non-spin-polarized and spin-polarized levels using the generalized gradient approximation of density functional theory (GGA-DFT)with Perdew and Wang…
Potential energy surfaces of electron dynamics (ePES) are constructed from a model of localized electron wave packets (eWP) with non-orthogonal valence-bond (VB) spin coupling and applied to quantum dynamics simulations of high harmonic…
