Streszczenie

The structure and stabilities of NH3 adsorbed on different sites of a Ni(111) surface are compared based on density functional, plane-waves calculations within a periodic framework. The surface has been modeled by 4- and 5-layer slabs with 2 × 2 and 3 × 3 unit cells. Calculated results are in good agreement with available experimental data, confirming the atop adsorption site to be the most favorable, with no preferred azimuthal orientation for the H atoms. For NH3 adsorbed at the atop site, the one-dimensional potential energy profiles along the N−H and N−Ni bonds and the coupling between adjacent N−H bond oscillators have been calculated and fitted to an analytical expression using an accurate anharmonic potential model. Variational calculations have been performed to obtain frequencies for the N−H and N−Ni stretching vibrations and N−H stretching line widths. The model for calculating line widths has also been tested with CO adsorbed at the hcp hollow of the Ni(111) surface.
