采用第一性原理的密度泛函理论方法计算了清洁Cu(110)表面和吸附O原子的Cu(110) c(2×1)表面的原子结构, 结构弛豫和电子结构, 得到了各种表面结构参数. 分别计算了O原子在Cu(110)表面三个可能吸附位置吸附后的能量, 并给出了能量最低的吸附位置上各层原子的弛豫特性和态密度. 结果表明O吸附后的Cu(110)表面有附加列(added-row)再构的特性, O原子吸附在最表层铜原子上方, 与衬底Cu原子的垂直距离为0.016 nm, 以氧分子为能量基准的吸附能为－1.94 eV; 同时由于Cu 3d- O 2p态的杂化作用使得低于费米能级5.5~6.0 eV的范围内出现了局域的表面态. 计算得到清洁的和氧吸附的Cu(110)表面的功函数分别为4.51 eV和4.68 eV. 电子态密度的结果表明：在Cu(110) c(2×1) 表面O吸附的结构下, 吸附O原子和金属衬底之间的结合主要是由于最表层Cu原子3d态和O原子2p态的相互作用.     

甲酸在轻微氧化的Nb(110)表面吸附的HREELS研究

用高分辨电子能量损失谱(HREELS)研究了甲酸在轻微氧化的Nb(110)表面(O/Nb原子比=0.2)上的吸附与分解,提出了相应的表面反应模式.140K时,低暴露量的甲酸在该表面解离生成甲酸根(HCOO),生成的甲酸根以单齿形式键合在Nb上,同时也有少量甲酸分解生成吸附态的CO;高暴露量时则生成多层物理吸附的固体甲酸.升温至～190K,物理吸附的甲酸脱附,此时的表面为单齿键合的HCOO和CO所覆盖.温度升至250～300K时,HCOO的吸附态由单齿式转变成桥式,同时表面吸附的CO分子消失.升温过程的HREELS表明HCOO的分解导致了Nb的氧化.暴露量较高时表面的甲酸根比较稳定以致于在540K的高温时仍不完全分解.     

NO2在Ag/Pt(110)双金属表面上的吸附和分解

利用俄歇电子能谱(AES)和程序升温脱附谱(TDS)研究了NO₂在Ag/Pt(110)双金属表面的吸附和分解.室温下NO₂ 在Ag/Pt(110)双金属表面发生解离吸附, 生成NO(ads)和O(ads)表面吸附物种. 在升温过程中NO(ads)物种发生脱附或者进一步分解. 500 K时NO₂在Ag/Pt(110)双金属表面发生解离吸附生成O(ads)表面吸附物种. Pt 向Ag传递电子, 从而削弱Pt－O键的强度, 降低O(ads)从Pt 表面的并合脱附温度. 发现能够形成具有稳定组成的Ag/Pt(110)合金结构, 其表现出与Pt(110)-(1×2)相似的解离吸附NO₂能力, 但与O(ads)的结合明显弱于Pt(110)-(1×2). 该AgPt(110)合金结构是可能的低温催化直接分解氮氧化物活性结构.

运用广义梯度近似密度泛函理论方法(GGA-PW91)结合周期平板模型, 研究水分子在二氧化铪(111)和(110)表面不同吸附位置在不同覆盖度下的吸附行为. 通过比较不同吸附位的吸附能和几何构型参数发现:(111)和(110)表面铪原子(top 位)是活性吸附位. 水分子与表面的吸附能值随覆盖度的变化影响较小. 在(111)和(110)表面, 水分子都倾向以氧端与表面铪原子相互作用. 同时也计算了羟基、氧和氢在表面的吸附, Mulliken 电荷布居, 态密度及部分频率. 结果表明, 在两种表面羟基以氧端与表面铪相互作用, 氧原子与表面铪和氧原子同时成键, 而氢原子直接与表面氧原子相互作用形成羟基. 通过过渡态搜索, 水分子在(111)和(110)表面发生解离, 反应能垒分别为9.7和17.3 kJ·mol^-1, 且放热为59.9和47.6 kJ·mol^-1.

The relationship between formate adsorption energy and electronic properties: A first principles density functional theory study

First principles density functional theory calculations have been performed for the chemisorption of formate adsorption on some metal surfaces. For the most stable adsorption site of short-bridge, the calculated formate adsorption energy follows the order of Au(110) < Ag(110) < Cu(110) < Pd(110) < Pt(110) < Ni(110) < Rh(110) < Fe(100) < Mo(100), and a clear linear correlation exists between the adsorption energy and the corresponding heat of formation of metal oxides. Moreover, it has been found that the fo...     

A first principle study of the structural,vibrational and electronic properties of tetrathiafulvalene adsorbed on Ag(110) and Au(110) surfaces

We have studied the adsorption properties of a charge donor organic molecule, tetrathiafulvalene (TTF), on the (110) surfaces of silver and gold by means of the generalized gradient approach of the density functional theory using periodic slab models. This molecule is the core building block of a host of molecular materials exhibiting extremely reach phase diagrams with a variety of ground states. The interfaces formed with metallic surfaces have received only limited attention, despite of their relevance. We have determined the stable adsorption sites for two unit cells representing high and low coverage, which are determinant for the adsorption properties of TTF on the surface. The preferential chemisorption is via the direct interaction of sulfur atoms with the Ag or Au atoms on top sites. All adsorbed TTF are more stable than gas phase TTF. The simulation of the vibrational spectra has permitted us to find the fingerprints of these structures to characterize them on this surface. The donor nature of TTF induces charge transfer to the metallic surfaces. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2010     

First-principles investigation of transition metal atom M (M = Cu, Ag, Au) adsorption on CeO2(110)

Transition metal atom M (M = Cu, Ag, Au) adsorption on CeO(2)(110), a technologically important catalytic support surface, is investigated with density-functional theory within the DFT+U formalism. A set of model configurations was generated by placing M at three surface sites, viz., on top of an O, an O bridge site, and a Ce bridge site. Prior to DFT optimization, small distortions in selected Ce-O distances were imposed to explore the energetics associated with reduction of Ce(4+) to Ce(3+) due to charge transfer to Ce during M adsorption. Charge redistribution is confirmed with spin density isosurfaces and site projected density of states. We demonstrate that Cu and Au atoms can be oxidized to Cu(2+) and Au(2+), although the adsorption energy, E(ads), of Au(2+) is less favorable and, unlike Cu(2+), it has not been experimentally observed. Oxidation of Ag always results in Ag(+). For M adsorption at an O bridge site, E(ads)(2NN) > E(ads)(3NN) > E(ads)(1NN) where NN denotes the nearest neighbor Ce(3+) site relative to M. Alternatively, for M adsorption at a Ce bridge site, E(ads)(3NN) > E(ads)(2NN) > E(ads)(1NN). The adsorption behavior of M on CeO(2) (110) is compared with M adsorption on CeO(2)(111).

Cluster and periodic DFT calculations: the adsorption of atomic nitrogen on M(111) (M = Cu, Ag, Au) surfaces

First-principle density functional calculations with cluster and slab models have been performed to investigate adsorption and thermally activated atomic nitrogen on M(111) (M = Cu, Ag, Au) surfaces. Optimized results indicate that the basis set of the N atom has a distinct effect on the adsorption energy but an indistinct one on the equilibrium distance. For the N/M(111) adsorption systems studied here, the threefold face centered cubic (fcc) hollow site is found to be the most stable adsorption site. The reason for the fcc site is that the perfected adsorption site has been explained by the density of states (DOS) analysis, that is, that N(2p) has the smallest DOS population near the Fermi level on the fcc site as compared with other adsorption sites. The variations of the adsorption energy as a function of adsorption site are similar and in the following order of N-M(111) binding strengths on a given site: Cu(111) > Ag(111) > Au(111). It is found that the N atom forms essentially an ionic bond for the most stable site. Large contributions between the M(ns) and N(2p) orbitals (n = 4, 5, and 6 for Cu, Ag, and Au, respectively) are found for the cluster model at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ-6-31G(d,p) level and also found in the slab DFT-GGA calculation results, which are the main characteristics of M-N bonds. At last, the dissociation of N2 on Cu(111) and Au(111) has also been obtained in this work, and the results showed that the dissociation of N2 on Cu(111) is more active than that on the Au(111) surface.     

Study of the structural and atomic diffusive properties of the ordered Cu3Au (110) surface

The structural properties, the formation and migration energies of a single vacancy migrating intralayer and interlayer in the CuAu‐terminated (110) surface of Cu₃Au ordered alloy have been calculated and discussed by using the modified analytical embedded‐atom method (MAEAM) and molecular dynamics (MD) methods. The surface layer exhibits rippling that the Au atoms are raised above Cu atoms about 0.117 Å in the topmost layer. The displacements of the topmost two layers are comparatively larger, while the third layer relaxes slightly and there are no changes in the nether layers. From energy minimization, the vacancy is most likely to be formed in the first layer (1L), especially on the Au site. The surface vacancy shows the smallest formation energy compared to the interlayer and bulk vacancies, while the corresponding value converges after the fifth layer (5L). For Cu vacancy originally sited in the second layer (2L) and migrated intralayer and interlayer, the diffusion without causing the local disorder is the most favorable, and the vacancy tends to migrate to the topmost layer. In the topmost layer of the CuAu‐terminated (110) surface, the circularity path is preferred over the beeline path. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Potential-dependant SERS interaction of ortho-substituted N-benzylamino(boronphenyl)methylphosphonic acid with Ag,Au, and Cu electrode surfaces

In this study we present surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) investigations of ortho-substituted N-benzylamino(boronphenyl)methylphosphonic acid (N-benzylamino-(2-boronphenyl)-R-methylphosphonic acid; o-PhR) adsorbed onto a roughened in oxidation–reduction cycles (ORC) Ag, Au, and Cu electrode surfaces at different applied electrode potentials. Based on the spectral changes in bandwidth and wavenumber of selected bands upon the alternation of the applied electrodes potential the manner and differences in the interaction of o-PhR with the Ag, Au, and Cu electrode surfaces were determined. Briefly, the spectral patterns on Ag and Au suggest that, generally, the both aromatic rings are involved in the o-PhR/electrode interaction, whereas the boronophenyl ring only interacts with Cu. Also, the boronic acid and phosphonic acid groups participate in the o-PhR interaction with all the types of electrodes. However, the type of the used electrode material and the applied electrode potential have influence onto the mode of adsorption.
