Ab initio molecular dynamics calculations on scattering of hyperthermal H atoms from Cu(111) and Au(111).
Energy loss from the translational motion of an atom or molecule impinging on a metal surface to the surface may determine whether the incident particle can trap on the surface, and whether it has enough energy left to react with another molecule present at the surface. Although this is relevant to heterogeneous catalysis, the relative extent to which energy loss of hot atoms takes place to pho...
متن کاملElectron hole pair mediated vibrational excitation in CO scattering from Au(111): incidence energy and surface temperature dependence.
We investigated the translational incidence energy (Ei) and surface temperature (Ts) dependence of CO vibrational excitation upon scattering from a clean Au(111) surface. We report absolute v = 0 → 1 excitation probabilities for Ei between 0.16 and 0.84 eV and Ts between 473 and 973 K. This is now only the second collision system where such comprehensive measurements are available - the first i...
متن کاملCompetition between electron and phonon excitations in the scattering of nitrogen atoms and molecules off tungsten and silver metal surfaces.
We investigate the role played by electron-hole pair and phonon excitations in the interaction of reactive gas molecules and atoms with metal surfaces. We present a theoretical framework that allows us to evaluate within a full-dimensional dynamics the combined contribution of both excitation mechanisms while the gas particle-surface interaction is described by an ab initio potential energy sur...
متن کاملObservation of a change of vibrational excitation mechanism with surface temperature: HCl collisions with Au(111).
We have measured the vibrational excitation probability (Pv) of HCl incident on a Au(111) surface at kinetic energies (Ei) of 0.59 eV to 1.37 eV and surface temperatures (Ts) of 273 K to 1073 K. For all energies, the slope of the Pv as a function of Ts exhibits a sharp increase above Ts approximately 800 K. We show this change in slope and the threshold behavior of Pv to be consistent with a ch...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulation of Al Energetic Nano Cluster Impact (ECI) onto the Surface
On the atomic scale, Molecular Dynamic (MD) Simulation of Nano Al cluster impact on Al (100) substrate surface has been carried out for energies of 1-20 eV/atom to understand quantitatively the interaction mechanisms between the cluster atoms and the substrate atoms. The many body Embedded Atom Method (EAM) was used in this simulation. We investigated the maximum substrate temperature Tmax and...
