Structure and vibrations of the vicinal copper „211... surface

چکیده
We report a first-principles theoretical study of the surface relaxation and lattice dynamics of the Cu~211! surface using the plane-wave pseuodopotential method. We find large atomic relaxations for the first several atomic layers near the step edges on this surface, and a substantial step-induced renormalization of the surface harmonic force constants. We use the results to study the harmonic fluctuations around the equilibrium structure and identify three new step-derived features in the zone-center vibrational spectrum. Comparisons of these results with previous theoretical work and with experimental studies using inelastic He-atom scattering are reported. @S0163-1829~98!05012-7#

All-electron first-principles investigations of the energetics of vicinal Cu surfaces
Using first-principles calculations we studied the energetics surface energy, step energy, stability with respect to faceting of the lowand high-Miller-index vicinal Cu surfaces, namely, the 111 , 100 , 110 , 311 , 331 , 210 , 211 , 511 , 221 , 711 , 320 , 553 , 410 , 911 , and 332 surfaces. Our calculations are based on density-functional theory employing the all-electron full-potential linear...

متن کاملStructure effects on the energetics of the electrochemical reduction of CO2 by copper surfaces
Polycrystalline copper electrocatalysts have been experimentally shown to be capable of reducing CO2 into CH4 and C2H4 with relatively high selectivity, and a mechanism has recently been proposed for this reduction on the fcc(211) surface of copper, which was assumed to be the most active facet. In the current work, we use computational methods to explore the effects of the nanostructure of the...
متن کاملAnalysis of Structural Vibrations due to Passage of Underground Trains
During the last decades, the railway traffic in densely populated areas has increased. At the same time, passenger trains have become faster and freight trains have become heavier. Consequently, trains are an increasing source of ground vibration, which may be a nuisance to people, buildings and sensitive equipment. In this research, a two-dimensional dynamic system, including underground train...
