Abstract: | Summary Density functional theory (DFT) (including gradient corrections) and MCPF calculations have been performed for atomic (H, C, N, O) and molecular CH
x
(x = 1–3) chemisorption on cluster models of different sites of the Cu(100) surface. The DFT and MCPF results are in good agreement once the important effects of core-valence correlation have been accounted for in the MCPF calculations by including contributions from a core polarization potential (CPP); in the DFT approach the core-valence correlation is obtained directly from the total density using the functional. Very large effects on the four-fold hollow site binding energy from core-valence correlation are found for C, N and CH. Several different DFT functionals were employed and compared in the calculations. |
