Atomic oxygen adsorption on the Mo(112) surface has been investigated by means of first-principles total energy calculations. Among the variety of possible adsorption sites it was found that the bridge sites between two Mo atoms of the…
Formic acid is known to act as a reduction agent for copper oxide. Its thermal uni-molecular decomposition was studied by means of DFT with special attention to reaction paths and kinetics.
The adsorption of C60 on Si(111) has been studied by means of first-principles density functional calculations. A 2x2 adatom surface reconstruction was used to simulate the terraces of the 7x7 reconstruction. The structure of several…
Ab initio self-consistent total energy calculations using second order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory and Hay-Wadt effective core potentials for gallium and arsenic have been used to investigate the chemisorption of atomic oxygen on the…
We present a density functional study of the structural and electronic properties of small Cu_n (n=1,4) aggregates on defect-free MgO(100). The calculations employ a slab geometry with periodic boundary conditions, supercells with up to 76…
Indium oxide offers optical transparency paired with electric conductivity, a combination required in many optoelectronic applications. The most-stable In2O3(111) surface has a large unit cell (1.43 nm lattice constant). It contains a…
We investigate the adsorption of chlorine on the Cu(111) surface with full potential all-electron density functional calculations. Chlorine adsorption at the fcc hollow sites is slightly preferred over that at the hcp hollow. The adsorption…
The behaviour of rod-coil diblock copolymers close to a surface is discussed by using extended scaling methods. The copolymers are immersed in selective solvent such that the rods are likely to aggregate to gain energy. The rods are assumed…
First-principle density-functional calculations have been applied to study the interaction of molecular chlorine with the (111) plane of copper. Using transition-state search method, we considered the elementary processes (Cl$_2$…
The effect of hydrogen adsorption on the magnetic properties of an Fe$_3$ cluster immersed in a Cu(111) surface has been calculated using densifty functional theory and the results used to parametrize an Alexander-Anderson model which takes…
The linear optical absorption spectra in neutral boron cluster B$_{6}$ and cationic B$_{6}^{+}$ are calculated using a first principles correlated electron approach. The geometries of several low-lying isomers of these clusters were…
A microscopic model of adsorption in cluster forming systems with competing interaction is considered. The adsorption process is described by the master equation and modelled by a kinetic Monte Carlo method. The evolution of the particle…

Several dissociated and two non-dissociated adsorption structures of the phenol molecule on the Si(001)-(2 \times 1) surface are studied using density functional theory with various exchange and correlation functionals. The relaxed…
The vibrational properties of carbon monoxide adsorbed to the copper (100) surface are explored within density functional theory. Atoms of the substrate and adsorbate are treated on an equal footing in order to examine the effect of…
For ethylene carbonate on the (100) surface of lithium, we calculate the adsorption energy in two binding motifs as well as the barrier height for a ring-opening decomposition reaction. We validate a scheme for producing results in the…
Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials to help mitigate the effects of global warming by selectively absorbing $\text{CO}_{2}$ for direct capture. Accurate quantum chemistry simulations are a useful tool to help select and…

We present a systematic theoretical investigation of the surface properties, stability and reactivity, of rock-salt type alkaline-earth metal oxides including MgO, CaO, SrO, and BaO. The accuracy of commonly used exchange-correlation…
Adsorption and dissociation of hydrocarbons on metallic surfaces represent crucial steps to carburization of metal. Here, we use density functional theory total energy calculations with the climbing-image nudged elastic band method to…
