The electronic structure of molecules on metal surfaces is largely determined by hybridization and screening by the substrate electrons. As a result, the energy levels are significantly broadened and molecular properties, such as vibrations…
We demonstrate for the first time that when a methanethiol adsorbed on the regular Cu(111) surface, the dissociative structure is thermodynamically more stable than the intact one. The computational results show that at low temperature the…
A first-principles atomic orbital-based electronic structure method is used to investigate the low index surfaces of rutile Titanium Dioxide. The method is relatively cheap in computational terms, making it attractive for the study of oxide…
When hydrogen molecules collide with a surface, they can either scatter away from the surface or stick to the surface through a dissociation reaction which leaves two H atoms adsorbed on the surface. The relative probabilities of these two…
The specific role played by small gold nanoparticles supported on the rutile TiO2(110) surface in the processes of adsorption and dissociation of H2 is discussed. It is demonstrated that the molecular and dissociative adsorption of H2 on…
The system of an iron phthalocyanine molecule on the Au(111) surface, has been studied recently due to its peculiar properties. In particular, several surprising results of scanning tunneling spectroscopy changing the position of the…
Using a combination of first-principles theory and experiments, we provide a quantitative explanation for chemical contributions to surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for a well-studied organic molecule, benzene thiol, chemisorbed on…
On-surface metal-organic coordination provides a promising way for synthesizing different two-dimensional lattice structures that have been predicted to possess exotic electronic properties. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and…
All vibrational energies of the (trans-, cis-, delocalized-) formic acid molecule are converged up to 4500 cm$^{-1}$ beyond the zero-point vibrational energy with the GENIUSH-Smolyak variational approach and using an ab initio potential…
On a gold surface, supramolecules composed of 4-acetylbiphenyl molecules show structural directionality, reproducibility and robustness to external perturbations. We investigate the assembly of those molecules on the Au(111) surface and…
To help provide insight into the remarkable catalytic behavior of the oxygen/silver system for heterogeneous oxidation reactions, purely sub-surface oxygen, and structures involving both on-surface and sub-surface oxygen, as well as…
We investigate the vibrational properties of Pt- and Pd-phthalocyanine (PtPc and PdPc) molecules on Ag(111) with high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). In the monolayer regime, both molecules exhibit long range order.…
Accessing the terahertz (THz) spectral domain through surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is challenging and opens up the study of low-frequency molecular and electronic excitations. Compared to direct THz probing of heterogenous…
Halogenated aromatic molecules assemble on surfaces forming both hydrogen and halogen bonds. Even though these systems have been intensively studied on flat metal surfaces, high-index vicinal surfaces remain challenging, as they may induce…
The interaction of tungsten hexacarbonyl W(CO)$_6$ precursor molecules with SiO$_2$ substrates is investigated by means of density functional theory calculations with and without inclusion of long range van der Waals interactions. We…
We report on tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of H2 and D2 molecules physisorbed within a plasmonic picocavity at 10 K. The intense Raman peaks resulting from the rotational and vibrational transitions are observed at subnanometer gap…
We systematically study the dissociation of H2 molecules on the {\beta}-Ga2O3 (100)B surface, with the influences of surface oxygen vacancy being considered. After introducing the surface oxygen vacancy, the nearest topmost O(I) atom…
The intersection between dislocations and a Ag(111) surface has been studied using an interplay of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and molecular dynamics (MD). Whereas the STM provides atomically resolved information about the surface…
The gold-assisted exfoliation is a very effective method to produce large-area ($cm^2$-scale) membranes of molybdenum disulfide ($MoS_2$) for electronics. However, the strong $MoS_2/Au$ interaction, beneficial for the exfoliation process,…
We reproduced the initial sticking probability of O$_{2}$/Al(111) by use of spin-polarized density functional theory and quantum dynamics calculations. We found a large activation barrier when the molecule is dissociatively adsorbed through…
