Fm. Poveda et al., MINDO SR CALCULATIONS FOR ADSORPTION OF HYDROCARBON FRAGMENTS CHN(N =1,2,3) ON AN NI14 CLUSTER/, Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 5, 1993, pp. 237-238
Properties of CH(n) (n = 1, 2, 3) adsorbed species on a Ni(100) surfac
e were calculated by using the MINDO/SR method. Adsorption is stronger
on border atoms (OC1), and follows the order: CH3 < CH2 < CH. There i
s charge transfer from the surface to the adsorbates. A new parameter
(diatomic binding energy) to evaluate interatomic interactions is prop
osed.
