The local adsorption geometry of CO adsorbed in different states on Ni(1 0 0) and on Ni(1 0 0) precovered with atomic hydrogen has been determined by C 1s (and O 1s) scanned-energy mode photoelectron diffraction, using the photoelectron binding energy changes to characterise the different states. The results confirm previous spectroscopic assignments of local atop and bridge sites both with and without coadsorbed hydrogen. The measured Ni–C bondlengths for the Ni(1 0 0)/CO states show an increase of 0.16 ± 0.04 Å in going from atop to bridge sites, while comparison with similar results for Ni(1 1 1)/CO for threefold coordinated adsorption sites show a further lengthening of the bond by 0.05 ± 0.04 Å. These changes in the Ni–CO chemisorption bondlength with bond order (for approximately constant adsorption energy) are consistent with the standard Pauling rules. However, comparison of CO adsorbed in the atop geometry with and without coadsorbed hydrogen shows that the coadsorption increases the Ni–C bondlength by only 0.06 ± 0.04 Å, despite the decrease in adsorption energy of a factor of 2 or more. This result is also reproduced by density functional theory slab calculations. The results of both the experiments and the density functional theory calculations show that CO adsorption onto the Ni(1 0 0)/H surface is accompanied by significant structural modification; the low desorption energy may then be attributed to the energy cost of this restructuring rather than weak local bonding. 相似文献
In this note we introduce a suitable class of functionals, including the class of integral functionals, and prove that any (strict) local minimum of a functional of this class, defined on a decomposable space, is a (strict) global minimum. So, the recent result obtained by Giner in [1] is specified and extended. 相似文献
The purpose of this paper is to give the Reid ``Roundabout Theorem' for quadratic functionals with general boundary conditions.
In particular, we describe the so-called coupled point and regularity condition introduced in [16] in terms of Riccati equation
solutions.

The silicon atom may increase its coordination number to values greater than four, to form pentacoordinated compounds. It
has been observed experimentally that, in general, pentacoordinated compounds show greater reactivity than tetracoordinated
compounds. In this work, density functional theory is used to calculate the global softness and the condensed softness of
the silicon atom for SiHnF4−n and SiHnF
5−n1−
. The values obtained show that the global and condensed softness are greater in the pentacoordinated compounds than in the
tetracoordinated compounds, a result that explains the enhanced reactivity. If the results are analysed through a local version
of the hard and soft acids and bases principle, it is possible to suggest that in nucleophilic substitution reactions, soft
nucleophiles preferably react with SiHnF
5−n1−
, and hard nucleophiles with SiHnF4−n. 相似文献
Stochastic models with varying degrees of complexity are increasingly widespread in the oceanic and atmospheric sciences. One application is data assimilation, i.e., the combination of model output with observations to form the best picture of the system under study. For any given quantity to be estimated, the relative weights of the model and the data will be adjusted according to estimated model and data error statistics, so implementation of any data assimilation scheme will require some assumption about errors, which are considered to be random. For dynamical models, some assumption about the evolution of errors will be needed. Stochastic models are also applied in studies of predictability.
The formal theory of stochastic processes was well developed in the last half of the twentieth century. One consequence of this theory is that methods of simulation of deterministic processes cannot be applied to random processes without some modification. In some cases the rules of ordinary calculus must be modified.
The formal theory was developed in terms of mathematical formalism that may be unfamiliar to many oceanic and atmospheric scientists. The purpose of this article is to provide an informal introduction to the relevant theory, and to point out those situations in which that theory must be applied in order to model random processes correctly. 相似文献
We prove a general functional limit theorem for multiparameter fractional Brownian motion. The functional law of the iterated
logarithm, functional Lévy’s modulus of continuity and many other results are its particular cases. Applications to approximation
theory are discussed.
