摘要:

提出了一种计算入射原子或分子与金属表面相互作用产生的电子-空穴对激发的方法。能量损失描述使用\textit{ab initio}的方法,从总能量赝势计算中获得的位置依赖的摩擦系数移动到金属表面附近的吸附物。本文用同样的摩擦系数描述能量损失,构造了一个半经典受迫振子模型来描述入射分子对电子气的激发。这种方法适用于H和D原子入射到Cu(111)表面,我们得到的理论估计的“化学电流”测量Nienhaus等人[物理。\textbf{82},446(1999)]中描述的方法。

英文摘要:

A method is presented for calculating electron-hole pair excitation due to an incident atom or molecule interacting with a metal surface. Energy loss is described using an \textit{ab initio} approach that obtains a position-dependent friction coefficient for an adsorbate moving near a metal surface from a total energy pseudopotential calculation. A semi-classical forced oscillator model is constructed, using the same friction coefficient description of the energy loss, to describe excitation of the electron gas due to the incident molecule. This approach is applied to H and D atoms incident on a Cu(111) surface, and we obtain theoretical estimates of the `chemicurrents' measured by Nienhaus et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{82}, 446 (1999)] for these atoms incident on the surface of a Schottky diode.
