Random sequential adsorption of spheres on a wavy surface was studied. It was determined how surface structure influences random packing properties such as the packing fraction, the kinetics of packing growth, and the two-particle density…
Adsorption and catalytic properties of the polar (111) surface of transition-metal carbides (TMC's) are investigated by density-functional theory. Atomic and molecular adsorption are rationalized with the concerted-coupling model, in which…
We study the effects of the exchange interaction between an adsorbed magnetic atom with easy-axis magnetic anisotropy and the conduction-band electrons from the substrate. We model the system using an anisotropic Kondo model and we compute…
We investigate the adsorption of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) molecules on a thin layer of cobalt oxide grown on Ir(100). To that end we compare the results of low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with those of ab-initio…
The Kondo effect is a many-body phenomenon allowing insight into the electronic and atomistic structure of spin-polarized adsorbates on metal surfaces. Its chemical control is intriguing because it deepens such insight, but the underlying…
An appropriate model Hamiltonian based formalism is proposed for a random adsorbate layer with arbitrary coverage and the ensuing two-dimensional band formation by metallic adsorbates in the monolayer regime. The coherent potential…
Knowledge of the atomic geometry of a surface is a prerequisite for any detailed understanding of the surface's electronic structure and chemical properties. Previous studies have convincingly demonstrated that density functional theory…
We construct the complete structural phase diagram of polymer adsorption at substrates with attractive stripe-like patterns in the parameter space spanned by the adsorption affinity of the stripes and temperature. Results were obtained by…
When two or more atoms bind to a solid surface, the substrate can mediate an interaction between them. In this paper, we use density-functional theory to quantify the substrate-mediated pair interaction between two adatoms on a…
Four cluster models for a copper(I)oxide (111) surface have been designed, of which three were studied with respect to their applicability in density functional calculations in the general gradient approximation. Formic acid adsorption on…
We study a system consisting of a particle adsorbed on a carbon nanotube resonator. The particle is allowed to diffuse along the resonator, in order to enable study of e.g. room temperature mass sensing devices. The system is initialized in…
We present a detailed study of the adsorption of CO on Cu, Rh, and Pt (111) surfaces in top and hollow sites. The study has been performed using the local density approximation, the gradient corrected functional PBE, and the hybrid…
Nowadays, electrochemical reduction of CO$_2$ has been considered as an effective method to solve the problem of global warming. The primary challenge in studying the mechanism is to determine the adsorption states of CO$_2$, since…
Adsorption of the molecule CO on metallic surfaces is an important unsolved problem in Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT). We present a detailed study of carbon monoxide adsorption on fcc (111) surfaces of 3d, 4d and 5d metals…
X-ray absorption spectroscopy yields direct access to the electronic and geometric structure of hybrid inorganic-organic interfaces formed upon adsorption of complex molecules at metal surfaces. The unambiguous interpretation of…

The adsorption equilibrium constants of monovalent and divalent cations to material surfaces in aqueous media are central to many technological, natural, and geochemical processes. Cation adsorption/desorption is often proposed to occur in…
The behavior of a polyelectrolyte adsorbed on a charged surface of high-dielectric constant is studied by both Monte-Carlo simulation and analytical methods. It is found that in a low ionic strength medium, the transition is first-order…
The influence of molecular vibrations on dissociative adsorption is studied by six-dimensional quantum dynamical calculations. For the system H_2 at Pd(100), which possesses non-activated pathways, it is shown that large vibrational effects…
Density-functional calculations on the polar TiX(111) (X = C, N) surfaces show (i) for clean surfaces, strong Ti3d-derived surface resonances (SR's) at the Fermi level and X2p-derived SR's deep in the upper valence band and (ii) for adatoms…
