5 F eb 2 00 4 An Off - lattice Model for Br Electrodeposition on Au ( 100 ) : from DFT to Experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since Br adsorption on Au(100) displays an incommensurate ordered phase, a lattice-gas treatment of the adlayer configurations is not reliable. We therefore use density functional theory slab calculations to determine the parameters necessary for the construction of an off-lattice model. We compute and analyze the total energy and electron density as the lateral Br position and coverage are varied. This allows the calculation of the corrugation potential, the short-range lateral interactions, the dipole moment (long-range interactions), and the residence charge. From these parameters , we construct an off-lattice model with no freely adjustable parameters. The simulation results compare remarkably well with experimental results.

A theoretical survey on strength and characteristics of F•••F, Br•••O and Br•••Br interactions in solid phase
A quantum chemical investigation was carried out to study the properties of intermolecular F•••F, Br•••Br and Br•••O interactions in crystalline 1-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-nitrobenzene (BFNB). This system was selected to mimic the halogen-halogen as well as halogen bonding interactions found within crystal structures as well as within biological systems. We found that fluorine atoms have weak ...
متن کاملLong-Range Displacive Reconstruction of Au(110) Triggered by Low Coverage of Sulfur
We propose a new model for the c(4 × 2) phase of sulfur adsorbed on Au(110). This is a reconstruction achieved by short-range rearrangements of Au atoms that create a pseudo-4-fold-hollow (p4fh) site for adsorbed sulfur. The model is based partly upon the agreement between experimental STM images and those predicted from DFT, both within c(4 × 2) domains and at a boundary between two domains. I...

Eutectic AuSn20 solder is an important material for electronic packaging technology due to its superior mechanical and thermal conductive properties. In this work, AuSn20 alloy films are prepared via the electrodeposition method for the first time. The electrodeposition is cost-effective with improved control over the alloy content when compared to traditional powdered metallurgy methods. Pyrop...

BRAHMS has the ability to study relativistic heavy ion collisions over a wide range of p T and rapidity [1]. This allows us to test whether thermal models can be generalized to describe the rapidity dependence of particle ratios. This appears to work with the baryo-chemical potential changing more rapidly than the temperature. Using fits to BRAHMS data for the 5% most central Au+Au collisions w...
