Au(111)散射的NO的强振动弛豫:准确的绝热势能面的重要性

Strong Vibrational Relaxation of NO Scattered from Au(111): Importance of an Accurate Adiabatic Potential Energy Surface

Rongrong Yin, Yaolong Zhang, Bin Jiang

摘要:

高振动激发的NO在Au(111)表面散射的多量子弛豫的实验观测是Born-Oppenheimer近似在分子表面系统中失效的基准。这种显著的振动非弹性长期以来被认为几乎完全是由电子转移介导的;但是,没有理论定量地再现了各种实验数据。这被认为是由于在这些研究中使用的绝热势能面(PES)的错误。在这里,我们调查电子绝热分子动力学这个系统与全球准确的高维PES,新开发的神经网络从第一原理。NO的振动能量损失远大于早期的绝热PES。此外,平移非弹性和平移能量依赖的振动非弹性也更准确地再现。有理由乐观地认为,电子非绝热理论使用这个绝热PES作为起点可能准确地再现实验结果在这个重要的系统。

英文摘要:

Experimental observations of multi-quantum relaxation of highly vibrationally excited NO scattering from Au(111) are a benchmark for the breakdown of Born-Oppenheimer approximation in molecule-surface systems. This remarkable vibrational inelasticity was long thought to be almost exclusively mediated by electron transfer; but, no theories have quantitatively reproduced various experimental data. This was suggested to be due to errors in the adiabatic potential energy surface (PES) used in those studies. Here, we investigate electronically adiabatic molecular dynamics of this system with a globally accurate high dimensional PES, newly developed with neural networks from first principles. The NO vibrational energy loss is much larger than that on earlier adiabatic PES. Additionally, the translational inelasticity and translational energy dependence of vibrational inelasticity are also more accurately reproduced. There is reason to be optimistic that electronically nonadiabatic theories using this adiabatic PES as a starting point might accurately reproduce experimental results on this important system.
