O在Au(111)表面吸附的密度泛函理论研究

应用密度泛函理论，本文系统地研究了O在Au(111)表面上的吸附能、吸附结构、功函数、电子密度和投影态密度，给出了覆盖度从0.11ML到1.0ML的范围内，O的吸附特性随覆盖度变化的规律.研究发现O的稳定吸附位为3重面心立方(fcc)洞位，O在fcc洞位的吸附能对覆盖度比较敏感，其值随着覆盖度的增加而减小；O诱导Au(111)表面功函数的变化量与覆盖度成近线性关系，原因是Au表面电子向O偏移，形成表面偶极子；O—Au的相互作用形成成键态和反键态，且反键态都被占据，造成O—Au键很弱，O吸附能较小. 关键词： 表面吸附 Au(111)表面 密度泛函理论 电子特性     

第一性原理研究氧在Ni(111)表面上的吸附能及功函数

采用基于密度泛函理论（DFT）广义梯度近似（GGA）下的第一性原理方法系统地研究了不同覆盖度下O在Ni（111）表面的吸附特性.计算结果表明,O在Ni（111）表面的稳定吸附位为三重面心立方（fcc）洞位,吸附能随着覆盖度的增加而减小,O诱导Ni（111）表面功函数的变化量与覆盖度成近线性关系,并随着覆盖度的增加而增大.同时,通过对电子密度和分波态密度的分析发现：O在Ni（111）表面的吸附使得Ni表面电子向O原子转移,形成表面偶极矩,导致功函数增加;表面Ni原子的3d轨道和O的2p轨道通过耦合、杂化作用形成成键态和反键态,而反键态几乎不被占据,因而O—Ni键相互作用比较强,吸附能较大. 关键词： 表面吸附 密度泛函理论 吸附能 功函数

Atomic oxygen adsorption on Pb(1 0 0)

We study atomic oxygen adsorption on a Pb(1 0 0) surface using density functional theory. The structures, binding energies, work function, and charge transfer of on-surface and subsurface adsorption are investigated at a range of coverages from 0.06 to 1.00 ML. The energetically favored adsorption site for on-surface adsorption is found to be a distorted hollow site for the whole coverage range studied. The distorted structures are stabilized by mixing of 6s and 6p states of lead mediated by the 2p states of oxygen. For subsurface adsorption, the sub-bridge site is found to be preferred to the sub-hollow site at low coverages, the two being nearly equal in energy at monolayer coverage. At 0.11 ML coverage, diffusion from an on-surface hollow site to a sub-bridge site is found to be barrierless, suggesting facile subsurface oxidation at low coverages. Combined on-surface and subsurface adsorption leads to the formation of a two-layer oxide structure resembling β-PbO.     

Interaction of oxygen with the Pt(1 1 1) surface in wide conditions range. A DFT-based thermodynamical simulation

We present the results of ab initio calculations of oxygen atomic adsorption in a wide range of coverage on Pt(1 1 1). At θ = 0.25 ML, the O adsorption at fcc hollow site is clearly favoured over the hcp site. At θ = 0.5 ML, the O adsorption energy decreases but the same site is favoured. When experimental or theoretical previously reported data are available, the calculated adsorption energies and site preferences are in good agreement. Among the various configurations and coverages investigated in the present work, no adsorption is stable beyond θ = 0.5 ML, except by occupation of a subsurface tetrahedral site. In that case, a total O coverage of 0.75 ML could be achieved, which is only slightly less stable than the θ = 0.5 ML configuration.

The use of thermodynamics permitted to explore the temperature–pressure stability domain corresponding to 0.25 ML, 0.5 ML and 0.75 ML. From this, we conclude that subsurface O species could be stable at temperatures lower than 700 K, with O₂ pressures of 1 bar or less.     

Density functional calculations for Ni adsorption on Al(1 1 0)

The adsorption of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 monolayer (ML) of the transition metal Ni on the metal substrate Al(1 1 0) was studied using first-principles calculations at the level of density functional theory. The metal–metal system was analyzed with the generalized gradient approximation. Four stable atomic configurations were considered, and the optimized geometries and adsorption energies of different Ni adsorption sites on the Al(1 1 0) surface at selected levels of coverage were calculated and compared. The four-fold hollow site was determined to be the most stable adsorption site with adsorption energy of 5.101 eV at 0.25 ML, 3.874 eV at 0.5 ML and 3.665 eV at 1 ML. The adsorption energies of the four sites slightly decreased as the Ni coverage increased. Work function analysis showed that when Ni is adsorbed on the Al(1 1 0) surface, the work function decreased as the coverage increased due to depolarization. The Mulliken population and density of states were calculated to determine the charge distribution of the adsorption site, confirming that a chemisorption interaction exists between the adsorbed Ni atom and Al(1 1 0) surface atoms.     

Adsorption and dissociation of CO on Fe(1 1 0) from first principles

We employ spin-polarized periodic density functional theory (DFT) to characterize CO adsorption and dissociation on the Fe(1 1 0) surface. We investigate the site preference for CO on Fe(1 1 0) at θ_CO = 0.25 and 0.5 monolayer (ML), for different functional forms of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) to electron exchange and correlation within DFT. At 0.25 ML, we predict the existence of a new ordered structure comparable in stability to one proposed previously. At 0.5 ML, we confirm the preference of a distorted on-top adsorption configuration suggested by experiment. The calculated heats of adsorption, CO stretching frequencies, and work function changes agree well with experiment. When dissociating from the on-top site, we predict that CO first moves off the on-top site and then goes through a lying-down transition state with a barrier of 1.52 eV. Diffusion of CO on Fe(1 1 0) from the on-top site to the long-bridge site is predicted to have a very small barrier of 0.1 eV. Dissociation of CO from the long-bridge site goes through the same transition state as from the on-top site, but the former has a slightly lower barrier. After dissociation, O atoms remain on the surface while C atoms are embedded into Fe(1 1 0), indicating C atoms may readily diffuse into Fe(1 1 0).     

A theoretical study of hydrogen adsorption and diffusion on a W(1 1 0) surface

We have used density functional theory to investigate hydrogen adsorption and diffusion on a W(1 1 0) surface. Hydrogen adsorption structures were examined from low coverage to one monolayer, and a threefold hollow site was found to be the most stable site at all coverages. In contrast to previous assertions, the work function decrease is not due to electron transfer from the hydrogen atoms to the W surface, but due to electron depletion at the vacuum region above the hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms can diffuse via short-bridge sites and long-bridge sites at a coverage of θ = 1.0. Although the calculated activation energy for hydrogen diffusion via a short-bridge site is as small as 0.05 eV, field emission microscope experiments have shown that the activation energy for hydrogen diffusion is about 0.20 eV, which agrees fairly well with our calculated value of the activation energy via a long-bridge site. This discrepancy can be related to hydrogen delocalization on the W(1 1 0) surface, which has been suggested by electron energy loss spectroscopy experiments.     

Energetics of oxygen embedment into unreconstructed and reconstructed Cu(1 0 0) surfaces: Density functional theory calculations

Atomic oxygen embedment into a Cu(1 0 0) surface is studied by density functional theory calculation and the nudged elastic band method. As the oxygen coverage increases on the unreconstructed surface from 0.25 monolayer (ML) to 0.75 ML, the energy barrier for oxygen embedment decreases and an energetically favorable sub-surface site is found at 0.75 ML coverage. At a fixed oxygen coverage of 0.5 ML, the oxygen embedment energetics vary with the surface morphology and the embedment is found to be more probable for reconstructed structures compared to the bare surface. On the missing-row reconstructed surface, we find that the energy barrier for atomic oxygen embedment is smaller through the missing-row compared to other paths, suggesting a mechanism for the formation of sub-surface oxygen structures that are consistent with a recent experiment. The energy barrier for sub-surface oxygen diffusion is predicted to be less than that for on-surface diffusion.     

Characterization of Ag adsorption on TiC（001） substrate： an ab initio study

Ag adsorptions at 0.25-3 monolayer （ML） coverage on a perfect TIC（001） surface and at 0.25 ML coverage on C vacancy are separately investigated by using the pseudopotential-based density functional theory. The preferential adsorption sites and the adsorption-induced modifications of electronic structures of both the substrate and adsorbate are analysed. Through the analyses of adsorption energy, ideal work of separation, interface distance, projected local density of states, and the difference electron density, the characteristic evolution of the adatom-surface bonding as a function of the amount of deposited silver is studied. The nature of the Ag/TiC bonding changes as the coverage increases from 0.25 to 3 MLs. Unlike physisorption in an Ag/MgO system, polar covalent component contributes to the Ag/TiC interfacial adhesion in most cases, however, for the case of 1-3 ML coverage, an additional electrostatic interaction between the absorption layer and the substrate should be taken into account. The value of ideal work of separation, 1.55 J/m^2, for a 3-ML-thick adlayer accords well with other calculations. The calculations predict that Ag does not wet TIC（001） surface and prefers a three-dimensional growth mode in the absence of kinetic factor. This work reports on a clear site and coverage dependence of the measurable physical parameters, which would benefit the understanding of Ag/TiC（001） interface and the analysis of experimental data.
