Conventions molecular electronic state labels

Fig. 1.78. Local density of spin-up and spin-down electronic states (LDOS) of the model catalysts shown in Fig. 1.77f-h for oxygen (a, c, e) and the metal part (b, d, f, g). The prominent peaks of the oxygen LDOS are labeled following the conventional nomenclature for the molecular orbitals of the gas-phase O2 molecule, with L and meaning perpendicular and parallel to the MgO surface, respectively. The Fermi energy E-p is at 0 eV...
