Density functional study of small cobalt-platinum nanoalloy clusters

The structural, energetic, electronic and magnetic properties of small bimetallic Co_nPt_m (n+m≤5) nanoalloy clusters are investigated by density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation. A plausible candidate for the ground state isomer and the other possible local minima, binding energies, relative stabilities, magnetic moments, the highest occupied and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps have been calculated. It is found as a general trend that average binding energies of Co-Pt bimetallic clusters increase with Pt doping. Planar structures of pure Co clusters become 3D with the addition of Pt atoms. CoPt₂, Co₂Pt₂, Co₃Pt₂, and CoPt₄ nanoalloys are identified as the most stable species since they have higher second finite difference in energy than the others. Pt doping decreases the total spin magnetic moment gradually. A rule for the prediction of the total spin moments of small Co-Pt bimetallic clusters is derived.     

A density functional theory study on the H2S molecule adsorption onto small gold clusters

An all-electron scalar relativistic calculation on Au_nH₂S (n = 1-13) clusters has been performed by using density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation at PW91 level. The small gold cluster would like to bond with sulfur in the same plane and the H₂S molecule prefers to occupy the on-top and single fold coordination site in the cluster. The Au_n structures and H₂S molecule in all Au_nH₂S clusters are only slightly perturbed and still maintain their structural integrity. After adsorption, the S-H, H-H bond-lengths and most Au-Au bond-lengths are elongated, only a few Au-Au bond-lengths far from H₂S molecule are shortened. The reactivity enhancement of H₂S molecule is obvious and the strong gold-sulfur bond is observed expectedly. The most favorable adsorption takes place in the case that the H₂S molecule is adsorbed by an even-numbered Au_n cluster and becomes Au_nH₂S cluster with even number of valence electrons. It is believed that the strong scalar relativistic effect is favorable to H₂S molecule adsorption onto small gold clusters and is also one of the important reasons for the strong gold-sulfur bond.     

Density functional calculations on small bimetallic magnetic clusters

Structural and magnetic properties of small bimetallic clusters like Co_MRh_N, NiNa_N, and NiCu_N are determined in the framework of a generalized gradient-corrected approximation to density functional theory. The role of magnetism on the most stable structure and on the energy differences among the low-lying isomers is quantified by comparing magnetic and non-magnetic solutions of the Kohn-Sham equations. The correlation between structure, chemical order, and environment-dependent magnetic properties is discussed.     

Density functional study on structural and electronic properties of bimetallic gold--yttrium clusters: comparison with pure gold and yttrium clusters

It is shown that the average bond lengths in the Au$_{n - 1}$Y($n \le $9) bimetallic clusters are shorter than those in the corresponding pure gold and yttrium clusters. The most stable isomers of the yttrium-doped gold clusters tend to equally delocalize valence s, p and d electrons of the constituent atoms over the entire structure. The Y atom has maximum number of neighbouring Au atom, which tends to be energetically favourable in the lowest-energy equilibrium structures, because the Au--Y bond is stronger than the Au-Au bond. The three-dimensional isomers of Au$_{n - 1}$Y structures are found in an early appearance starting at $n$=5 (Au$_{4}$Y). Calculated vertical ionization potential and electron affinities as a function of the cluster size show odd-even oscillatory behaviour, and resemble pure gold clusters. However, one of the most striking feature of pure yttrium clusters is the absence of odd-even alternation, in agreement with mass spectrometric observations. The HOMO--LUMO gap of Au$_{3}$Y is the biggest in all the doped Au$_{n - 1}$Y($n \le $9) bimetallic clusters.

Density functional study of Al-doped Au clusters

The equilibrium geometries and electronic properties of Au_nAl, up to n=13, have been systematically investigated using the density functional theory. The results show that, for the Au_nAl clusters, two patterns are identified. Pattern one (n=2, 3, 8), the lowest-energy geometries prefer two-dimensional structures. Pattern two (n=4-7, 9--13), the lowest-energy geometries prefer three-dimensional structures. According to the analysis of the binding energy and the fragmentation energy, Au_nAl clusters with odd n are found to be more stable than those with even n. The same trend of alternation can be illuminated according to the computational results in the HOMO--LUMO gap, the ionization potential, and the electron affinities. The Al atom not only changes the structures of pure gold clusters, but also enhances their stabilities. NBO analysis indicates 6s orbital of Au atom hybridizes with 3p orbital of Al atom.     

Theoretical study of small Mo clusters and molecular nitrogen adsorption on Mo clusters

This paper studies the small molybdenum clusters of Mo_n (n=2--8) and their adsorption of N₂ molecule by using the density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation. The optimized structures of Mo_n clusters show the onset of a structural transition from a close-packed structure towards a body-centred cubic structure occurred at n=7. An analysis of adsorption energies suggests that the Mo₂ is of high inertness and Mo₆ cluster is of high activity against the adsorption of N₂. Calculated results indicate that the N₂ molecule prefers end-on mode by forming a linear or quasi-linear structure Mo--N--N, and the adsorption of nitrogen on molybdenum clusters is molecular adsorption with slightly elongated N--N bond. The electron density of highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, and the partial density of states of representative cluster are also used to characterize the adsorption properties of N₂ on the sized Mo_n clusters.     

Density functional study of the cysteine adsorption on Au nanoclusters

The adsorption of the cysteine amino acid (H–SC_βH₂–C_αH–NH₂–COOH) on the Au₅₅ cluster is investigated through density functional theory calculations. Two isomers, with icosahedral (I_h) and chiral (C₁) geometries, of the Au₅₅ cluster are used to calculate the adsorption energy of the cysteine on different facets of these isomers. Results, only involving the S(thiolate)-Au bonding show that the higher adsorption energies are obtained when the sulfur atom is bonded to an asymmetrical bridge site at the facet containing Au atoms with the lowest coordination of the C₁ cluster isomer.     

Density functional theory study of water adsorption on FeOOH surfaces

Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations with an on-site Coulomb repulsion term, we study the composition, stability, and electronic properties of the most common FeOOH surfaces goethite(101), akaganeite(100), and lepidocrocite(010), and their interaction with water. Despite the differences in surface structure, the trends in surface stability of these FeOOH polymorphs exhibit remarkable similarities. We find that the reactivity and the binding configuration of adsorbates depend strongly on the coordination of surface iron: at the fourfold coordinated Fe2 site water is chemisorbed, whereas at the fivefold coordinated Fe1 water is only loosely bound with hydrogen pointing towards the surface. Our results show that the oxidation state of surface iron can be controlled by the surface termination where ferryl (Fe^4 +) species emerge for oxygen terminated surfaces and ferrous iron (Fe^2 +) at iron and water terminations leading to a reduced band gap. In contrast, the fully hydroxylated surfaces, identified as stable surface configurations at standard conditions from the surface phase diagram, show electronic properties and band gaps closest to bulk FeOOH with ferric surface iron (Fe^3 +). Only in the case of goethite(101), a termination with mixed surface hydroxyl and aquo groups is stabilized.

X-ray photoemission of small platinum and palladium clusters

X-ray photoemission of the Pt(4f) and Pd(3d) core-levels of small Pt and Pd metal clusters have been investigated. As cluster size decreases, there is a reduction in the lineshape asymmetry, a broadening in the linewidth, and a shift of the core-level toward the higher binding energies. The changes in the linewidth and line asymmetry can be interpreted in terms of the final state effects — the changes in the response of the valence electrons to the core-hole as a function of the cluster size. The decrease in the lineshape asymmetry is due to the reduction in the low-energy electron-hole screening and the linewidth broadening is due to the damping of the plasmons by the boundary surface of the cluster.

Interaction of ethylene with palladium clusters supported on oxidised tungsten foil

The reactivity with ethylene of palladium clusters supported on oxidised tungsten foil has been investigated by synchrotron radiation-induced photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature programmed desorption. The effect of the heat pre-treatment of the sample on the interaction strength with ethylene is demonstrated. Already at room temperature, adsorption of ethylene causes breaking of both the C-H and C-C bonds and the appearance of a highly reactive C₁ phase with unsaturated bonds. A part of this phase is oxidised to carbon monoxide by oxygen supplied by the support immediately after ethylene adsorption. Another part of ethylene is probably adsorbed in the form of ethylidyne. Heating at temperatures between 400 K and 500 K brings about the dissolution of the C₁ phase in the shallow subsurface region of the Pd clusters. Further oxidation of the C₁ phase by oxygen from the support proceeds at ∼600 K. Substantial reduction of the concentration of C₁ phase at room temperature is observed after heat pre-treatment of the sample at 500 K, while complete suppression of the room temperature ethylene chemisorption proceeds upon heat pre-treatment at 800 K. This effect is related to thermally induced encapsulation of palladium clusters in surface tungsten oxide.     

Enantiospecific adsorption of chiral molecules on chiral gold clusters

Enantioselectivity in gold clusters is investigated by studying the adsorption of a chiral amino acid (cysteine) on a chiral Au55 cluster using density functional calculations. The highest adsorption energies were found when the amino and thiolate functional groups of cysteine are bonded to the lowest coordinated edges of the chiral cluster. Enantiospecific adsorption is primarily obtained from the different bond location and strength, at the cluster edge, of the carboxyl groups forming the left- and right-handed enantiomers. These results provide theoretical support to convey enantioselectivity in asymmetric nanocatalysts using chiral gold clusters.
