The Effect of Cu Impurity on the CO-dissociation Mechanism on the Fe (100) Surface: A Full Potential DFT Study
In this study, the theoretical calculations of CO dissociation were carried out on Cu-Fe alloy surface by a full-potential method, which made more accurate results especially on the prediction of adsorption energies. This process may be governed by either a direct route or a H-assisted via HCO and COH intermediates pathways. In comparison to the pure surface Fe (100), the presence of Cu atom en...
متن کاملSwitching a single spin on metal surfaces by a STM Tip: Ab Initio studies.
The exchange coupling between single 3d magnetic adatoms (Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co) adsorbed on a Cu(001) surface and a Cr STM tip is studied with ab initio calculations. We demonstrate that the spin direction of single adatoms can be controlled by varying the tip-substrate distance, and the sign of the exchange energy is determined by the competition of the direct and the indirect interactions betwe...
متن کاملObserving spin excitations in 3d transition-metal adatoms on Pt(111) with inelastic scanning tunneling spectroscopy: A first-principles perspective
Spin excitations in atomic-scale nanostructures have been investigated with inelastic scanning tunneling spectroscopy, sometimes with conflicting results. In this work, we present a theoretical viewpoint on a recent experimental controversy regarding the spin excitations of Co adatoms on Pt(111). While one group [Balashov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 257203 (2009)] claims to have detected them...
متن کاملRestoring the Co magnetic moments at interfacial Co-porphyrin arrays by site-selective uptake of iron.
Magnetochemistry recently emerged as a promising approach to control addressable spin arrays on surfaces. Here we report on the binding, spatial ordering, and magnetic properties of Fe on a highly regular Co-tetraphenylporphyrin (Co-TPP) template and highlight how the Fe controls the magnetism of the Co centers. As evidenced by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) single Fe atoms attach to the s...
متن کاملInteraction of atomic hydrogen with monometallic Au(100), Cu(100), Pt(100) surfaces and surface of bimetallic Au@Cu(100), Au@Pt(100) overlayer systems: The role of magnetism
The spin-polarized calculations in generalized gradient approximation density–functional theory (GGA–DFT) have been used to show how the existence of second metals can modify the atomic hydrogen adsorption on Au (100), Cu (100), and Pt (100) surfaces. The computed adsorption energies for the atomic hydrogen adsorbed at the surface coverage of 0.125 ML (monolayer) for the monometallic Au (100), ...
