The puzzling experimental observations of Ag addimer formation on the Si(100) surface upon vapor deposition at low temperature, even as low as 140 K, reported by Huang et al. [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2021, 23, 4161], is explained by facile…

We report the results of a density-functional study of the diffusion of Pt dimers on the (111) surface of Pt. The calculated activation energy of 0.37 eV is in {\em exact} agreement with the recent experiment of Kyuno {\em et al.}…

Employing first principles total energy calculations we have studied the behavior of Ga and Al adatoms on the GaAs(001)-beta2 surface. The adsorption site and two relevant diffusion channels are identified. The channels are characterized by…

Diffusion of Cu adatoms and dimers on Cu(111) and Ag(111) surfaces is analyzed basing on ab-initio surface potentials. As compared to the simple single adatom jumps that alternate between two states, dimers undergo more complex diffusion…

We use ab initio static relaxation methods and semi-empirical molecular-dynamics simulations to investigate the energetics and dynamics of the diffusion of adatoms, dimers, and vacancies on Cu(100). It is found that the dynamical energy…

At the low temperatures of interstellar dust grains, it is well established that surface chemistry proceeds via diffusive mechanisms of H atoms weakly bound (physisorbed) to the surface. Until recently, however, it was unknown whether atoms…

The rate of diffusion of a Cu adatom on the Cu(100) surface is calculated using thermodynamic integration within the transition state theory. The results are found to be in excellent agreement with the essentially exact values from…

Diffusion of Ga adatom at the As rich, low temperature c(4$\times$4) reconstructions of GaAs(001) surface is analyzed. We use known energy landscape for the motion of Ga adatom at two different $\alpha$ and $\beta$ surface phases to…

The diffusivity of Ga and Al adatoms on the (2x4) reconstructed GaAs(001) surface are evaluated using detailed ab initio total energy calculations of the potential energy surface together with transition state theory. A strong diffusion…

In this paper we use density-functional theory calculations to analyze both the stability and diffusion of Cu adatoms near and on the H-passivated Si(001) surface. Two different Cu sources are considered: depositing Cu from vacuum, and…

First-principles total-energy calculations of the H/Si(001)-2x1 surfaces reveals a dual diffusion process for the Si adatoms: single along the dimer row while pairing up across the row. The calculated diffusion barrier along the dimer row…

We present first-principles total-energy electronic-structure calculations that provide the microscopic mechanism of the Ag atom diffusion between the half unit cells (HUCs) on the Si(111)-(7x7) surface with and without the tip of the…

Molecular dynamics and parallel-replica dynamics simulations are applied to investigate the atomic structures and diffusion processes at {\text{Al}\{111\}}\parallel{\text{Si}}\{111\} interphase boundaries constructed by simulated vapor…

Using density-functional theory we investigate several properties of Al(111), Al(100), Al(110), and stepped Al(111) surfaces. We report results of formation energies of surfaces, steps, adatoms, and vacancies. For the adsorption and…

Long-timescale simulations of the diffusion of a H$_2$O admolecule on the (0001) basal plane of ice Ih were carried out over a temperature range of 100 to 200 K using the adaptive kinetic Monte Carlo method and TIP4P/2005f interaction…

In this thesis a new model for calculating the total energy of atomic and solid systems is presented. The model is used to study the properties of the Si(100) surface and dislocation dynamics in the diamond structure. For the Si(100)…

The surface diffusion of Cu adatoms in the presence of an adisland at FCC or HCP sites on Cu(111) is studied using the EAM potential derived by Mishin {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 63} 224106 (2001)]. The diffusion rates along straight…

We investigate the process by which a water molecule diffuses on the surface of an Al(111) electrode under constant bias voltage by first-principles density functional theory. To understand the diffusion path of the water on the Al(111), we…

An atomistic study of the order-effect occurring in Li$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ at $x=0.5$ is presented and an explanation for the computationally and experimentally observed dip in the Li diffusivity is proposed. Configurations where a single…

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the mechanism and kinetics of hydrated electron diffusion. The electron center of mass is found to exhibit Brownian-type behavior with a diffusion coefficient considerably greater than that…
