چکیده

An accurate description of oxygen dissociation pathways and kinetics for various local adlayer environments is key for an understanding not just of the coverage dependence of oxygen sticking, but also of reactive steady states in oxidation reactions. Density functional theory analysis for M(100) surfaces with M=Pd, Rh, and Ni, where O prefers the fourfold hollow adsorption site, does not support the traditional Brundle-Behm-Barker picture of dissociative adsorption onto second-nearest-neighbor hollow sites with an additional blocking constraint. Rather adsorption via neighboring vicinal bridge sites dominates, although other pathways can be active. The same conclusion also applies for M=Pt and Ir, where oxygen prefers the bridge adsorption site. Statistical mechanical analysis is performed based on kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of a multisite lattice-gas model consistent with our revised picture of adsorption. This analysis determines the coverage and temperature dependence of sticking for a realistic treatment of the oxygen adlayer structure.

Statistical mechanical models for dissociative adsorption of O2 on metal(100) surfaces with blocking, steering, and funneling

We develop statistical mechanical models amenable to analytic treatment for the dissociative adsorption of O2 at hollow sites on fcc(100) metal surfaces. The models incorporate exclusion of nearest-neighbor pairs of adsorbed O. However, corresponding simple site-blocking models, where adsorption requires a large ensemble of available sites, exhibit an anomalously fast initial decrease in sticki...

Fingerprints of energy dissipation for exothermic surface chemical reactions: O2 on Pd(100).

We present first-principles calculations of the sticking coefficient of O2 at Pd(100) to assess the effect of phononic energy dissipation on this kinetic parameter. For this, we augment dynamical simulations on six-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs) representing the molecular degrees of freedom with various effective accounts of surface mobility. In comparison to the prevalent frozen-...

Dynamical Quantum Processes of Molecular Beams at Surfaces: Dissociative Adsorption of Hydrogen on Metal Surfaces

Due to the improvement of computer power and the development of efficient algorithms it is now possible to combine high-dimensional quantum dynamical calculations of the dissociative adsorption of molecular beams with reliable ab-initio potential energy surfaces (PES). In this brief review two recent examples of such studies of the systems H2/Cu(111), where adsorption is hindered by a noticeabl...

276101 - 1 Role of Steps and of Terrace Width in Gas - Surface Interaction : O 2 Ag 410

We demonstrate by vibrational spectroscopy that open steps are the active site for O2 dissociation on Ag(410), and that the barrier to adsorption at defects can be measured by energy and angle resolved investigation of the dynamics of the gas-surface interaction. We identify a molecular adsorption channel with considerably reduced activation barrier and a nonactivated dissociative pathway. The ...
