Quantum nature of the proton in water-hydroxyl overlayers on metal surfaces.
Using ab initio path-integral molecular dynamics, we show that water-hydroxyl overlayers on transition metal surfaces exhibit surprisingly pronounced quantum nuclear effects. The metal substrates serve to reduce the classical proton transfer barriers within the overlayers and, in analogy to ice under high pressure, to shorten the corresponding intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Depending on the sub...
متن کاملAb initio studies of a water layer at transition metal surfaces.
This paper presents a detailed study of a water adlayer adsorbed on Pt(111) and Rh(111) surfaces using periodic density functional theory methods. The interaction between the metal surface and the water molecules is assessed from molecular dynamics simulation data and single point electronic structure calculations of selected configurations. It is argued that the electron bands around the Fermi...
متن کاملGrowth and electronic structure of alkali-metal adlayers on icosahedral Al70.5Pd21Mn8.5
We report x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS study of Na and K adlayers on icosahedral Al70.5Pd21Mn8.5 i-Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal. The Na 1s core-level exhibits a continuous linear shift of 0.8 eV towards lower binding energies BE with increasing coverage up to one monolayer ML saturation coverage. In the case of K/ i-Al-Pd-Mn, a similar linear shift in the K 2p spectra towards lower BE is obser...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of transition metal doped ZnSe/ZnS nanocrystals by a rapid photochemical method
In the present work, a one pot, rapid and room temperature photochemical Synthesis of transition metal (TM; Cu, Mn, Cr)-doped ZnSe/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals (NCs) was reported. FT-IR spectrum confirmed the capping of ZnSe by thioglycolic acid. XRD and TEM analysis demonstrated zinc blende phase NCs with an average size of around 3 and 5 nm for TM:ZnSe and TM:ZnSe/ZnS NCs, respectively. PL spe...
متن کاملCluster core-level binding-energy shifts: the role of lattice strain.
Our combined experimental and theoretical analysis of the shifts, with particle size, of core-level binding energies (BE's) of metal nanoparticles on insulating supports, shows that these shifts have an important initial state contribution arising, in large part, because of lattice strain. This contribution of BE shifts has not been recognized previously. Lattice strain changes the chemical bon...
