First-principles calculation of field emission from metal surfaces
The field-emission current from realistic metal surfaces is evaluated within the density-functional theory using the Landauer-Büttiker approach. The electronic density in the surface region and the potential barrier induced by the finite electric field are calculated self-consistently using a Green’s-function embedding scheme and the full-potential linearized-augmented plane-wave method. Applic...
متن کاملField emission of metal nanowires studied by first-principles methods
We study the field-emission properties of an ultrathin silver nanowire using first-principles methods. The simulation and analysis of the field emission are carried out based on density-functional theory using a localized basis scheme. Through the explicit time evolution of wavefunctions, we obtain the emission currents and spatial distributions of emitted electrons from a silver nanowire. In c...

متن کاملFirst-principles study of chemical reactions at metal surfaces
We have studied the adsorption state and the hydrogenation process of formate on clean and Zn-deposited Cu(111) surfaces by using DFT-GGA-pseudopotential calculations. After the deposition of Zn on the Cu(111) surface, the Zn atom is substitutionally adsorbed in the first layer of the Cu surface and Cu-Zn surface alloys are formed which is in agreement with experimental results. However, our ca...
متن کاملField-evaporation from first-principles
Under the application of a strong electric field, atoms from a metal surface can rupture their bonds and escape, leading to ‘field-evaporation’. We present a firstprinciples description of this phenomenon, taking as an example the evaporation of Al adatoms from an Al(111) surface. The ‘charged-plane’ method [A.Y. Lozovoi and A. Alavi, Phys Rev B 68, 246416 (2003)], has been implemented in the c...
