Adsorption dynamics of O2 on Cu(100)
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 discussed in the light of recent molecular beam experiments. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Investigation of structural and electronic properties of small Au n Cu m (n+m≤5) nano-clusters for Oxygen adsorption
In this study, the structures, the IR spectroscopy, and the electronic properties of AunCum (n+m≤5) bimetallic clusters were studied and compared with those of pure gold and copper clusters using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and exchange correlation density functional theory (DFT). The study of an O2-AunCum system is important to identify the promotion effects of each of the two...

متن کاملA Computational Study on the Aerobic Oxidation of Benzene to Phenol in Cu/Exchanged Y Zeolite
In heterogeneous catalysis transition metal-containing zeolites, in particular copperexchanged zeolites, have been studied experimentally [1, 2] as well as theoretically. Zeolites have large surface areas and different active sites (Brønsted acid sites and transition metal centers) which play a significant role in catalysis. In order to study the catalytic oxidation of benzene to phenol using d...
متن کامل276101 - 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 ...
متن کاملStatistical 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...
