Cu 表面性质的第一性原理分析

采用第一性原理赝势平面波方法, 计算并详细分析了面心立方Cu晶体及其 (100), (110) 和 (111) 这3个低指数表面的原子结构、 表面能量及表面电子态密度. 表面能的计算结果表明, Cu (111) 表面的结构稳定性最好, Cu (100) 表面次之, Cu (110)表面的结构稳定性最差. 3个表面的表面原子弛豫量随着层数的增加而逐渐减弱. Cu (110) 表面的最表层原子相对收缩最大, Cu (100)表面次之, Cu (111) 表面的最表层原子相对收缩最小. 表面原子弛豫不仅引起表面几何结构的变化, 而且使表面层原子的电子态密度峰形相对晶体内部发生变化, 这是表面能产生的主要原因, 而Cu (110)表面相对于Cu (100)与Cu (111)表面具有高表面活性的主要原因则源于其表面层原子电子态密度在高能级处的波峰相对晶体内部显著的升高. 关键词： Cu 晶体 表面结构 表面能 态密度     

NH_x(x=1～3)在金属Ir表面吸附与解离的第一性原理研究

采用密度泛函理论,在slab模型下,研究了NH_x(x=1~3)在Ir(100)、Ir(111)和Ir(110)表面上的最稳定吸附位置、几何构型以及逐步脱氢分解过程,计算了相应的吸附能和活化能.计算结果表明,在Ir(100)、Ir(111)面上,NH_3是以C_3轴垂直吸附在顶位,在Ir(110)上,NH_3是以N-Ir键与表面成68.6°吸附在顶位,且吸附能依赖于表面的结构而不同,相比而言,NH_3更容易吸附在开放表面Ir(100)、Ir(110)面上,说明NH_3在这些表面的吸附具有结构敏感性.NH_(x(x=1~3))的分解,在Ir(100),NH_3的吸附与分解存在竞争,在Ir(110)面NH_3最容易分解,在Ir(111)面NH_3是分子性吸附,不能分解.NH_2、NH在三个表面均能够分解,在Ir(110)面活化能均较高.     

Molecular assembly of tetracene on the (2 × 1)O reconstructed Cu(1 1 0) surface

Using a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory calculations, we have studied the adsorption of tetracene on the Cu(1 1 0) (2 × 1)O substrate. At monolayer coverage the adsorbed molecules are in the flat-laying geometry with their long axis along the close-packed [0 0 1] direction of the substrate and a long-range ordered structure on the length scale up to 100 nm has been observed. DFT calculation results indicate a stronger interaction between tetracene molecules and Cu(1 1 0) substrate than Cu(1 1 0) (2 × 1)O substrate. The preferential adsorption sites have also been pointed out on both substrates. The observed wavelike structure is explained by the interdigitation of C-H bonds of adjacent molecules.     

A first principle study on the magnetic properties of Cu2O surfaces

Spin-polarized density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the magnetism of bulk and Cu₂O surfaces. It is found that bulk Cu₂O, Cu/O-terminated Cu₂O(111) and (110) surfaces have no magnetic moment, while, the O-terminated Cu₂O(100) and polar O-terminated Cu₂O(111) surfaces have magnetism. For low index surfaces with cation and anion vacancy, we only found that the Cu vacancy on the Cu₂O(110) Cu/O-terminated surface can induce magnetism. For atomic and molecular oxygen adsorption on the low index surfaces, we found that atomic and molecular oxygen adsorption on the Cu-terminated Cu₂O(110) surface is much stronger than on the Cu/O-terminated Cu₂O(111) and Cu-terminated Cu₂O(100) surfaces. More interesting, O and O₂ adsorption on the surface of Cu/O terminated Cu₂O(111) and O₂ adsorption on the Cu-terminated Cu₂O(110) surface can induce weak ferromagnetism. In addition, we analysis origin of Cu₂O surfaces with magnetism from density of state, the surface ferromagnetism possibly due to the increased 2p–3d hybridization of surface Cu and O atoms. This is radically different from other systems previously known to exhibit point defect ferromagnetism, warranting a closer look at the phenomenon.     

H_2在Ni,Pd与Cu表面的解离吸附

用EAM方法(embeded-atommethod)研究H_2在Ni,Pd与Cu的(100),(110)与(111)面上的解离吸附.首先通过拟合单个H原子在Ni,Pd与Cu不同表面上的吸附能和吸附键长,得到H与这些金属表面相互作用的EAM势,然后计算H_2在这些表面上以不同方式进行解离吸附时的活化势垒E_a,吸附热q_(ad)与吸附键长R.并给出H_2在(110)面上解离吸附的势能曲线.计算结果表明H_2的解离吸附与衬底种类、衬底表面取向及解离方式有关.H_2在Ni表面上解离时活化势垒很低,而在Cu表面解 关键词：     

过渡金属Cu、Cr掺杂TiO2表面氧化性气体NO2光学气敏传感特性

采用密度泛函理论（DFT）体系广义梯度近似（GGA）第一性原理平面波超软赝势方法,分析锐钛矿型TiO₂（101）表面吸附NO₂分子光学气敏传感的微观机理.结果表明：Cu和Cr原子易于掺入TiO₂（101）表面,掺杂表面能稳定地吸附NO₂分子且吸附后光学性质发生显著变化.表面吸附NO₂分子后,Cu掺杂TiO₂（101）表面对分子的吸附能最大,吸附后结构更稳定,分子与表面的距离最短.通过分析差分电荷密度和电荷布居数发现,NO₂分子与基底表面间发生电荷转移,转移电子数目：Cu掺杂表面 > Cr掺杂表面 > 无掺杂表面.对比吸收光谱和反射光谱发现,在Cu掺杂表面吸附分子后,光学性质变化最明显,说明表面与吸附分子间氧化还原能力是决定光学气敏传感性能的核心因素.在过渡金属中,Cu与Cr都有4s价电子结构,其4s电子降低了材料表面氧空位的氧化性,增加了其还原性.对于氧化性气体,可以提升表面与分子的氧化还原作用,而Cu的4s电子更加活泼,从而光学气敏传感特性更加明显.因此,Cu掺杂的TiO₂对氧化性气体是一种较好的光学气敏传感材料.     

NEXAFS and SEXAFS studies of chemisorbed molecules

Near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) and surface extended x-ray absorption fine structure (SEXAFS) spectroscopies and their application to the determination of the adsorption geometry and bonding of low-Z molecules on surfaces are discussed. NEXAFS is characterized by intramolecular resonances and probes the internal structure of the molecule (intramolecular bond lengths and possibly bond angles) as well as its orientation relative to the surface. SEXAFS provides information about the adsorption site and the molecule-substrate distances. After demonstrating the full power of SEXAFS in the analysis of oxygen adsorption on Cu(110) and on Ag(110) an example is given of a complete structure determination for the formate species (HCO₂) on Cu(110) using NEXAFS and SEXAFS.     

A comparative first-principles study of the adsorption of a carbon atom on copper and nickel surfaces

The adsorption energies of a carbon atom at the most stable adsorption sites on the Cu and Ni(100), (110) and (111) surfaces have been studied by first-principles calculations. The preference order of the adsorption sites for both Cu and Ni surfaces is the same. The (100) hollow site is the most stable one. The diffusion barriers for a C atom on the three surfaces have also been obtained, with the highest mobility on the (111) surface of both metals. Our investigation shows that the adsorption energies of the C atom on Ni are significantly higher in magnitude than those on Cu for all the three surfaces. This phenomenon is mainly due to the interaction and hybridization between C p-orbits and partially filed d-shell of Ni, which forms a stronger binding.     

Influence of surface orientation and defects on early-stage oxidation and ultrathin oxide growth on pure copper

We investigate oxidation and oxide growth on single-crystal copper surfaces using reactive molecular dynamics simulation. The kinetics of surface oxide growth are strongly correlated with the microstructure of the metal substrates. Simulating oxide layer growth along the (100), (110), and (111) orientations of crystalline copper, oxidation characteristics are investigated at temperatures of 300?K and 600?K. The oxidation kinetics are found to strongly depend on the surface orientation, ambient temperature, and surface defects. The effect of surface morphology on oxidation characteristics is analyzed by comparing oxygen adsorption on various sites and the structure factor. The surface oxide formed on (100) retains the initial crystal structure in the 300–600?K range. The (100) surface shows the highest oxidation rate at both temperature conditions but saturates, facilitating oxygen adsorption on hollow sites. The oxidation kinetics of the (100) orientation are found to be not significantly affected by surface defects. (110) shows modest oxidation at 300?K but the highest oxidation is observed at 600?K. By surface disorder and reconstruction, the oxide layer is produced continuously. The (111) surface is sensitive to ambient temperature and surface defects, showing that surface reconstruction is a key element for further oxidation. The charge distribution of oxidized Cu atoms indicates multiple groups of stoichiometric oxides, while the fraction of CuO-like characteristics increases significantly on the (110) and (111) orientations at higher temperature (600?K). The energetics and mechanisms of oxidation on Cu metal substrates at the nanoscale are discussed in detail, and comparisons with available experimental and other theoretical studies are presented wherever possible.     

Initial stage of adsorption of octithiophene molecules on Cu(111)

The initial stage of the adsorption of octithiophene (8T) molecules on a Cu(111) surface is investigated using a scanning tunneling microscope at room temperature. We find a characteristic molecular chain structure of 8T molecules on a terrace of the Cu(111) surface, which has not been reported so far for adsorption of oligothiophene molecules on metal surfaces. Up to the adsorption of 0.26 monolayer (ML), 8T molecules in the molecular chain align with their long axis parallel to the Cu<11-2> direction. With increasing coverage, there appear 8T molecules that align with their long axis parallel to the Cu<110> direction. The appearance of different molecular orientations is understood by the decrease of the number of the adsorption sites for extending the molecular chains. Fragments of 8T molecules, such as single thiophene molecules, are also observed in this work. They are trapped only at the step edges of the Cu(111) surface at the beginning and later trapped in a small Cu(111) region surrounded by 8T molecules.

Vibrational EELS studies of CO chemisorption on clean and carbided (111), (100) and (110) nickel surfaces

Room temperature adsorption of CO on bare and carbided (111), (100) and (110) nickel surfaces has been studied by vibrational electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and thermal desorption. On the clean (100) and (110) surfaces two configurations of CO adsorbed species, namely “terminal” and bridge bonded CO, are observed simultaneously. On Ni(111), only two-fold sites are involved. The presence of superficial carbon lowers markedly the bond strength of CO on Ni(111)C and Ni(110)C surfaces, while no adsorption has been detected on the Ni(100)C surface. Moreover, on the carbided Ni(110)C surface, the adsorption mode for adsorbed CO is changed with respect to the clean surface; only “terminal” CO is then observed.     

Single atom self-diffusion on nickel surfaces

Results of a field ion microscope study of single atom self-diffusion on Ni(311), (331), (110), (111) and (100) planes are presented, including detailed information on the self-diffusion parameters on (311), (331), and (110) surfaces, and activation energies for diffusion on the (111), and (100) surfaces. Evidence is presented for the existence of two types of adsorption site and surface site geometry for single nickel atoms on the (111) surface. The presence of adsorbed hydrogen on the (110), (311), and (331) surfaces is shown to lower the onset temperature for self-diffusion on these planes.     

The adsorption of CO on Cu surfaces studied by electron energy loss spectroscopy

Electron energy loss spectroscopy (ELS) in the energy range of electronic transitions (primary energy 30 < E₀ < 50 eV, resolution ΔE ≈ 0.3 eV) has been used to study the adsorption of CO on polycrystalline surfaces and on the low index faces (100), (110), (111) of Cu at 80 K. Also LEED patterns were investigated and thermal desorption was analyzed by means of the temperature dependence of three losses near 9, 12 and 14 eV characteristic for adsorbed CO. The 12 and 14 eV losses occur on all Cu surfaces in the whole coverage range; they are interpreted in terms of intramolecular transitions of the CO. The 9 eV loss is sensitive to the crystallographic type of Cu surface and to the coverage with CO. The interpretation in terms of d(Cu) → 2π¹(CO) charge transfer transitions allows conclusions concerning the adsorption site geometry. The ELS results are consistent with information obtained from LEED. On the (100) surface CO adsorption enhances the intensity of a bulk electronic transition near 4 eV at E₀ < 50 eV. This effect is interpreted within the framework of dielectric theory for surface scattering on the basis of the Cu electron energy band scheme.     

Coulombic amino group-metal bonding: adsorption of adenine on Cu110

The interaction between molecular amino groups and metal surfaces is analyzed from first-principles calculations using the adsorption of adenine on Cu110 as a model case. The amino group nitrogens are found to adsorb on top of the surface copper atoms. However, the bonding clearly cannot be explained in terms of covalent interactions. Instead, we find it to be largely determined by mutual polarization and Coulomb interaction between substrate and adsorbate.     

A vibrational study of ammonia chemisorbed on Ni(110) and Ni(111): whither goest the metal-nitrogen stretching mode on FCC (111) surfaces?

The adsorption of ammonia on the Ni(110) and Ni(111) surfaces has been studied with high resolution (≤ 65 cm_?1) electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) combined with thermal desorption spectroscopy. The EELS spectra of the initial chemisorbed layer or α state on each surface are very different. Ammonia chemisorbed on the Ni(110) surface exhibits a strong Ni-N stretching mode at 570 cm^?1 which is absent on the Ni(111) surface. The Ammonia adsorption site appears to be different on the Ni(110) and Ni(111) surfaces. We suggest that the absence of the M-N stretching mode on the Ni(111) surface is a general characteristic of the ammonia adsorption site on the (111) surfaces of fcc Group VIII metals.

The interplay between geometry,electronic structure,and reactivity of Cu-Ni bimetallic (111) surfaces

The mutual influence of surface geometry (e.g. lattice parameters, morphology) and electronic structure is discussed for Cu-Ni bimetallic (111) surfaces. It is found that on flat surfaces the electronic d-states of the adlayer experience very little influence from the substrate electronic structure which is due to their large separation in binding energies and the close match of Cu and Ni lattice constants. Using carbon monoxide and benzene as probe molecules, it is found that in most cases the reactivity of Cu or Ni adlayers is very similar to the corresponding (111) single crystal surfaces. Exceptions are the adsorption of CO on submonolayers of Cu on Ni(111) and the dissociation of benzene on Ni/Cu(111) which is very different from Ni(111). These differences are related to geometric factors influencing the adsorption on these surfaces.
