Ab initio calculations of CO physisorption on ceria(1 1 1)

Applying the method of increments, we have performed MP2 and CCSD(T) calculations for the physisorption of CO on a cerium site on the ceria(1 1 1) surface. Our calculations predict an interaction energy of −0.28 eV. We have compared our calculations to previous CCSD(T) calculations for the physisorption of CO on a cerium site on the ceria(1 1 0) surface and found a difference in the interaction energy that is related to the different structure of the two surfaces. On the ceria(110) surface only 30% of the interaction energy originate from electron correlation effects, but on the ceria(111) surface almost the entire binding energy (80%) is due to electron correlation effects. Analyses of the interaction energy contributions show that most of the electron correlation part originates from the interaction of CO with the O ions in the topmost surface layer.

Surface rumples and band gap reductions of cubic BaZrO3 (001) surface studied by means of first-principles calculations

Electronic properties of the (001) surface of cubic BaZrO$_{3}$ with BaO and ZrO$_{2}$ terminations have been studied using first-principles calculations. Surface structure, partial density of states, band structure and surface energy have been obtained. We find that the largest relaxation appears in the first layer of atoms, and the relaxation of the BaO-terminated surface is larger than that of the ZrO$_{2}$-terminated surface. The surface rumpling of the BaO-terminated surface is also larger than that of the ZrO$_{2}$-terminated surface. Results of surface energy calculations reveal that the BaZrO$_{3}$ surface is likely to be more stable than the PbZrO$_{3}$ surface.     

On surface properties of a weakly-coupled classical one-component plasma: The size effect in finite systems

The surface properties of a weakly coupled classical one-component plasma of finite size are calculated exactly within the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) approximation scheme. It is found that the ion density profile and the surface energy for a spherical system show strong size dependence. The surface energy also strongly depends on the position of the hard wall introduced for achieving an appropriate equilibrium ion configuration. These results indicate that the recent Monte Carlo simulation data for a spherical system must be interpreted, at least in the weak-coupling regime, as including substantial size effects and cannot be directly compared with the theoretical calculations for the planar surface. For a slab, on the other hand, such size effects are found to be very small if the hard wall is placed at sufficiently distant position from the surface. The dominant contribution to the surface energy which is omitted in the PB approximation is also estimated by the perturbation calculations.     

Electronic structure of La (0001) thin films on W (110) studied by photoemission spectroscopy and first principle calculations

Surface states that have a dz2 symmetry around the center of the surface Brillouin zone(BZ)have been regarded common in closely-packed surfaces of rare-earth metals.In this work,we report the electronic structure of dhcp La(0001)thin films by ultrahigh energy resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES)and first principle calculations.Our first principle analysis is based on the many-body approach,therefore,density function theory(DFT)combined with dynamic mean-field theory(DMFT).The experimentally observed Fermi surface topology and band structure close to the Fermi energy qualitatively agree with first principle calculations when using a renormalization factor of between 2 and 3 for the DFT bands.Photon energy dependent ARPES measurements revealed clear kZ dependence for the hole-like band around the BZ center,previously regarded as a surface state.The obtained ARPES results and theoretical calculations suggest that the major bands of dhcp La(0001)near the Fermi level originate from the bulk La 5d orbits as opposed to originating from the surface states.

Under-coordinated atoms induced local strain, quantum trap depression and valence charge polarization at W stepped surfaces

We have explored the effects of atoms under-coordination on surface structure relaxation, binding energy shift of W stepped surfaces and valence charge polarization by the method of incorporating bond order-length-strength (BOLS) correlation mechanism into high-resolution X-ray photoluminescence spectra (XPS) measurements as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Results show that the 4f_7/2 energy levels of bulk, surface skin and step edge W atoms shift deeper from 2.17 to 2.69 eV with respect to that of the isolated W (28.91±0.01 eV) atoms, while the valence charge energy shift upper from inner to outer layer and from bulk to stepped edge. The surface bond contraction occurs around under-coordinated atoms after geometry relaxation calculation. Consistency among BOLS calculations, DFT calculation and experimental measurements clarifies that the surface bond contraction and consolidation due to the effects of under-coordination atoms induce potential trap depression, which provides perturbation to the Hamiltonian and hence contributes to the surface core level shift deeper, and that the surface valence charge are polarized by the densely trapped core-level electrons to upper energy.     

The energetics of NH3 adsorption at the MgO(001) surface

Ab initio quantum-mechanical calculations based on density-functional theory and the pseudopotential method have been used to study the adsorption of the NH₃ molecule at the MgO(001) surface. The calculations employ slab geometry and periodic boundary conditions, with the occupied orbitals expanded in plane waves. The reliability of the theoretical methods has been verified by calculations on the bare surface and the isolated molecule. Four different adsorption geometries have been studied, and in each case the equilibrium configuration has been determined by full relaxation of the system. The two most stable configurations have about the same adsorption energy, and this energy agrees well with the results of recent thermal desorption measurements. Intermolecular repulsion is found to be a dominant effect at monolayer coverage, but becomes small at coverages below 25%. It is shown that chemical effects are not significant, and that the adsorption mechanism is predominantly physisorption.     

Multidimensional effects on dissociation of N2 on Ru(0001)

The applicability of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation to molecule-metal surface reactions is presently a topic of intense debate. We have performed classical trajectory calculations on a prototype activated dissociation reaction, of N2 on Ru(0001), using a potential energy surface based on density functional theory. The computed reaction probabilities are in good agreement with molecular beam experiments. Comparison to previous calculations shows that the rotation of N2 and its motion along the surface affect the reactivity of N2 much more than nonadiabatic effects.     

Accounting for the local surface geometry in the classical theory of spin waves

The effect of the surface energy on the formation of the spin spectrum is considered. Different aspects are examined of the effect of the surface on the energy spectrum of the system associated with structural features of the surface structure. The calculations are carried out for the spectrum of elementary excitations of a ferromagnetic system that is bounded by a surface. Calculations are conducted following the standard method of the Hamiltonian diagonalization. Relationships are obtained that completely determine the surface spectrum in the zero approximation in the spin-spin interaction.

Scattering of CO and N(2) molecules by a graphite surface

Measurements of angular distributions for the scattering of well-defined incident beams of CO and N(2) molecules from a graphite surface are presented. The measurements were carried out over a range of graphite surface temperatures from 150 to 400?K and a range of incident translational energies from 275 to over 600?meV. The behavior of the widths, positions and relative intensities of the angular distributions for both CO and N(2) were found to be quite similar. The experimental measurements are discussed in comparison with calculations using a classical mechanical model that describes single collisions with a surface. Based on the behavior of the angular distributions as functions of temperature and incident translational energy, and the agreement between measured data and calculations of the single-collision model, it is concluded that the scattering process is predominantly a single collision with a collective surface for which the effective mass is significantly larger than that of a single carbon atom. This conclusion is consistent with that of earlier experiments for molecular beams of O(2) molecules and Xe atoms scattering from graphite. Further calculations are carried out with the theoretical molecular scattering model in order to predict translational and rotational energy transfers to and from the molecule during scattering events under similar initial conditions.     

Self-consistent LDA calculation in ion neutralization at metal surfaces

The neutralization of He⁺ scattered off aluminum is calculated via a self-consistent LDA where the metal surface is modeled by an LDA jellium surface, and its structure factor is consistently calculated. This approach includes Auger and plasmon-assisted neutralization channels of He⁺ to the He ground state in front of aluminum. We analyze these neutralization channels, which leads us to a revision of the usual calculations of ion neutralization on surfaces depending on the transferred energy lying below, near, or above the metal plasma frequency. The results of this calculation are compared with those of other methods, namely usual unscreened calculations, calculations which extrapolate bulk results, calculations performed for a step potential surface, and surface calculations in the long-distance limit.

Converged properties of clean metal surfaces by all-electron first-principles calculations

All-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave calculations of the surface energy, work function, and interlayer spacings of close-packed metal surfaces are presented, in particular, for the free-electron-like metal surfaces, Mg(0 0 0 1) and Al(1 1 1), and for the transition metal surfaces, Ti(0 0 0 1), Cu(1 1 1), Pd(1 1 1), and Pt(1 1 1). We investigate the convergence of the surface energy as a function of the number of layers in the slab, using the Cu(1 1 1) surface as an example. The results show that the surface energy, as obtained using total energies of the slab and bulk from separate calculations, converges well with respect to the number of layers in the slab. Obviously, it is necessary that bulk and surface calculations are performed with the same high accuracy. Furthermore, we discuss the performance of the local-density and generalized gradient approximations for the exchange-correlation functional in describing the various surface properties.
