Abstract: | Ab initio calculations have been carried out for the interactions of atomic hydrogen with Ag5 cluster models, simulating the adsorption on the one-fold and four-fold sites of the (100) and (110) silver surfaces. It is found that one-layer cluster models lead to unreasonable results as a consequence of their high instability. Chemisorption on the one-fold site is found to be the preferred one. This results is easily interpreted on the basis of symmetry properties of the higher occupied molecular orbitals. |
