英文摘要：

Using first-principles calculations, we systematically study the potential energy surfaces and dissociation processes for hydrogen molecules on the clean and hydrogen-preadsorbed Be(0001) surfaces. It is found that the most energetically favored dissociation channel for H2 molecules on the clean Be surface is at the surface top site, with the minimum energy barrier of 0.75 eV. It is further found that after dissociation, hydrogen atoms do not like to cluster with each other, as well as to penetrate into subsurface sites. For the hydrogen-preadsorbed Be(0001) surface, the smallest dissociation energy barrier for H2 molecules is found to be 0.50 eV, which is smaller than the dissociation energy barrier on a clean Be(0001) surface. The critical dependence of the dissociation energy barriers for H2 molecules on their horizontal distances from the preadsorbed hydrogen atom is revealed. Our studies well describe the adsorption behaviors of hydrogen on the Be(0001) surface.

Dissociation of O2 molecules on strained Pb(111) surfaces

By performing first-principles molecular dynamics calculations, we systematically simulate the adsorption behavior of oxygen molecules on the clean and strained Pb(111) surfaces. The obtained molecular adsorption precursor state, and the activated dissociation process for oxygen molecules on the clean Pb surface are in good agreements with our previous static calculations, and perfectly explains previous experimental observations [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 104, 9204 (2007)]. In addition, we also study the influences of surface strain on the dissociation behaviors of O2 molecules. It is fou…

Influences of Al doping on the electronic structure of Mg(0001) and dissociation property of H2

By using the density functional theory method, we systematically study the influences of the doping of an Al atom on the electronic structures of the Mg(0001) surface and dissociation behaviors of H2 molecules. We find that for the Al-doped surfaces, the surface relaxation around the doping layer changes from expansion of a clean Mg(0001) surface to contraction, due to the redistribution of electrons. After doping, the work function is enlarged, and the electronic states around the Fermi energy have a major distribution around the doping layer. For the dissociation of H2 molecules, we find tha…

Hydrogen dissociation on metal surfaces - a model system for reactions on surfaces

Reactions on surfaces play an important role in many technological applications. Since these processes are often rather complex, one tries to understand single steps of these complicated reactions by investigating simpler system. In particular the hydrogen dissociation on surfaces serves as such a model system. There has been much progress in recent years in the theoretical description of reactions on surfaces by high-dimensional dynamics simulations on potential energy surfaces which are derived from ab initio total energy calculations. In this brief review I will focus on the hydrogen dissoc…

Spontaneous Dissociation of Co2(CO)8 and Autocatalytic growth of Co on SiO2 : A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Investigation

We present experimental results and theoretical simulations of the adsorption behavior of the metal-organic precursor Co2(CO)8 on SiO2 surfaces after application of two different pre-treatment steps, namely by air plasma cleaning or a focused electron beam pre-irradiation. We observe a spontaneous dissociation of the precursor molecules as well as auto-deposition of cobalt on the pre-treated SiO2 surfaces. We also find that the differences in metal content and relative stability of these deposits depend on the pre-treatment conditions of the substrate. Transport measurements of these deposits …

s-d Electronic interactions induced H2 dissociation on the γ-U(100) surface and influences of niobium doping

The dissociation of hydrogen molecules on the γ-U(100) surface is systematically studied with the density functional theory method. Through potential energy surface calculations, we find that hydrogen molecules can dissociate without any barriers on the clean γ-U(100) surface. After careful electronic analysis, it is found that charge transfer between the hydrogen s and uranium d electronic states causes the dissociation, which is quite different from the dissociation of hydrogen molecules on other actinide metal surfaces. Considering that doping of 3d transition metal atoms can stabilize the …

Quantum Monte Carlo activation barrier for hydrogen dissociation on copper to unprecedented accuracy

Many chemical reactions involve bond-dissociation. This is also true for reactions at solid surfaces, in which the dissociation step is often limiting but facilitated in comparison to gas phase reaction channels. This work considers hydrogen dissociation. Reliable molecular beam results are available for this reaction at some copper surfaces. Heterogeneous catalysis by copper is simulated. It was investigated in our previous work since it is in many ways a prototype metal presenting a close-packed surface here. These hydrogen molecules are adsorbed at Cu(111) and fixed geometries on the dissoc…

First principles study of oxidation of Si segregated α-Ti(0001) surfaces

The oxidation of α-Ti(0001) surface was studied using density functional theory. In order to enhance the oxidation resistance, we substituted Ti atoms with Si atoms in Ti(0001) surface. We observe that Si prefers to segregate at the surface layer of Ti(0001) compared to other sub-surface layers. The Si solubility on the Ti(0001) surface was estimated to be around 75 at.%. While Si segregation was found to reduce the binding between the oxygen atom and the Ti(0001) surface, the barrier for oxygen to diffuse into the slab increases. The dissociation of the oxygen molecule on the clean and Si seg…

Quantum Monte Carlo with ground-state input to investigate methane reactions on supported metal film catalysts

Nowadays, there is pressing demand for sustainable energy sources, or clean and 'green' fuel and hydrogen is a perfect candidate. It can be made by dissociating methane with the energy input compensated by metal-hydrogen bond formation. Industry uses Nickel supported on $γ$-alumina for this rate-limiting step. This work shows how to use Quantum Monte Carlo calculations to take (user-guided) information summarising chemistry of heterogeneous catalysis from a generic Jastrow factor, that allows electron correlation to be included in the density. This, in turn, gives accurate values of properties…

Adsorption and desorption of hydrogen at nonpolar GaN(1-100) surfaces: Kinetics and impact on surface vibrational and electronic properties

The adsorption of hydrogen at nonpolar GaN(1-100) surfaces and its impact on the electronic and vibrational properties is investigated using surface electron spectroscopy in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. For the surface mediated dissociation of H2 and the subsequent adsorption of H, an energy barrier of 0.55 eV has to be overcome. The calculated kinetic surface phase diagram indicates that the reaction is kinetically hindered at low pressures and low temperatures. At higher temperatures ab-initio thermodynamics show, that the H-free surface is energetically fav…
