A density-functional theory investigation on desorption of O2 on Sn（111） and its comparison with initial oxidation on the X（111） （X=Si,Ge, Sn,Pb） surfaces

<正>The first-principles calculations are performed to investigate the adsorption of O₂ molecules on an Sn（111） 2×2 surface.The chemisorbed adsorption precursor states for O₂ are identified to be along the parallel and vertical channels, and the surface reconstructions of Sn（lll） induced by oxygen adsorption are studied.Based on this,the adsorption behaviours of O₂ on X（111）（X=Si,Ge,Sn,Pb） surfaces are analysed,and the most stable adsorption channels of O₂ on X（111）（X=Si,Ge,Sn,Pb） are identified.The surface reconstructions and electron distributions along the most stable adsorption channels are discussed and compared.The results show that the O₂ adsorption ability declines gradually and the amount of charge transferred decreases with the enhancement of metallicity.
