Oxygen adsorption on Mo(112) surface studied by ab initio genetic algorithm and experiment.

چکیده
Density functional theory in combination with genetic algorithm is applied to determine the atomic models of p(1x2) and p(1x3) surface structures observed upon oxygen adsorption on a Mo(112) surface. The authors' simulations reveal an unusual flexibility of Mo(112) resulting in oxygen-induced reconstructions and lead to more stable structures than any suggested so far. Comparison of the stabilities of the predicted models shows that different p(1x2) and p(1x3) structures may coexist over a wide range of oxygen pressures. A pure p(1x2) structure can be obtained only in a narrow region of oxygen pressures. In contrast, a pure p(1x3) structure cannot exist as a stable phase. The results of simulations are fully supported by a multitude of experimental data obtained from low energy electron diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning tunneling microscopy.

Adsorption dynamics of O2 on Cu(100)
We have studied the adsorption of O2 on the Cu(100) surface using both static potential energy surface (PES) calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics. The dynamical calculations complement the PES results, revealing steering effects which could not be predicted based on the static calculations only. We study the effect of oxidation and Ag doping on O2 adsorption dynamics. The results are d...

The interaction of molecular oxygen with Pt(111) has been studied using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations based on periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption probability has been determined as a function of the initial kinetic energy and the surface temperature. In addition, the effect of coupling the substrate to a thermostat has been studied. In agreement wit...
متن کاملAb initio studies of propene epoxidation on oxidized silver surfaces.
Ab initio density functional simulations have been performed to study the adsorption of propene on partially oxidized silver surfaces and its interaction with surface oxygen. Two different adsorption conformations for propene are studied, with the molecule either intact or forming an Ag-C3H6-O oxymetallacycle (OMC) intermediate. Then, pathways for propene oxide, acrolein and propanone formation...
