Adsorption of a molecule or group with an atom which is less electronegative than oxygen (O) and directly interacting with the surface is very relevant to development of PtM (M=3d-transition metal) catalysts with high activity. Here, we…
The local adsorption geometries of the (2x2)-N and the (sqrt(3)x sqrt(3))R30^o -N phases on the Ru(0001) surface are determined by analyzing low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) intensity data. For both phases, nitrogen occupies the…
Ab initio self-consistent total energy calculations using second order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory and Hay-Wadt effective core potentials with associated basis sets (HWECP's) for gallium and arsenic have been used to investigate the…
While the small sticking coefficient for molecular hydrogen on the Si(001) surface apparently requires a large energy barrier of adsorption, no such barrier is observed in desorption experiments. We have calculated the potential-energy…
The energy to desorb atomic oxygen from an interstellar dust grain surface, $E_{\rm des}$, is an important controlling parameter in gas-grain models; its value impacts the temperature range over which oxygen resides on a dust grain.…
First-principles density-functional theory and supercell models are employed to calculate the adsorption of water molecules on the Cu(100) surface. In agreement with the experimental observations, the calculations show that a H2O molecule…
The interaction of water with oxide surfaces is of great interest for both fundamental science and applications. We present a combined theoretical [density functional theory (DFT)] and experimental [Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM),…
We investigate the molecular acceptors 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PTCDA), 2,3,5,6-tetra uoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ), and 4,5,9,10-pyrenetetraone (PYTON) on Ag(111) using densityfunctional theory.…
We study Bromine and Chlorine chemisorption on a Ag(100) surface, using a lattice-gas model and the quantum-mechanical Density Functional Theory (DFT) method. In this model the Br and Cl ions adsorb at the fourfold hollow sites of the…
By performing first-principles molecular dynamics calculations, we systematically simulate the adsorption behavior of oxygen molecules on the clean and strained Pb(111) surfaces. The obtained molecular adsorption precursor state, and the…
The results of DFT supercell calculations of oxygen behavior upon the UN (001) and (110) surfaces as well as at the tilt grain boundary are presented. Oxygen adsorption, migration, incorporation into the surface N vacancies on (001) and…
We use density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and our first-principles extrapolation method for accurate chemisorption energies {[Mason {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 69}, 161401R (2004)]} to…
Pd(111) has recently been shown to exhibit a propensity to form a sub-nanometer thin surface oxide film already well before a full monolayer coverage of adsorbed O atoms is reached on the surface. Aiming at an atomic-scale understanding of…
The uranium mononitride (UN) is a material considered as a promising candidate for Generation-IV nuclear reactor fuels. Unfortunately, oxygen in air affects UN fuel performance and stability. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the…
Density functional theory (DFT) and many body perturbation theory at the G$_0$W$_0$ level are employed to study the electronic properties of polythiophene (PT) adsorbed on graphene surface. Analysis of charge density difference shows the…
Only recently, the activation of oxygen molecules on clean defect-free transition metal oxide surfaces has been reported, for example on the CaO-terminated surface of the Ruddelsden-Popper perovskite \crosurf. In this work we show that…
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 problem of the geometry of interstitial oxygen in silicon is settled by proper consideration of the quantum delocalization of the oxygen atom around the bond-center position. The calculated infrared absorption spectrum accounts for the…
The adsorption energy of benzene on various metal substrates is predicted using the random phase approximation (RPA) for the correlation energy. Agreement with available experimental data is systematically better than 10% for both coinage…
The electronic and geometric properties of bulk fcc delta-plutonium and the quantum size effects in the surface energies and the work functions of the (001) ultra thin films (UTF) up to 7 layers have been investigated with periodic density…
