Interactions among species, positive

The existence of multiple peaks for molecular desorption has been attributed to lateral interactions among adsorbed species 62-64). As discussed previously, adsorption onto the surface lattice may occur preferentially in next nearest neighbor sites to form p(2 x 2) structures. Even at low coverages, attractive forces may cause adatoms to occupy next nearest neighbor positions, so that clusters of adsorbate form which have local twofold periodicity 65) with respect to the surface. Such effects are entirely consistent with the perturbations of the surface electronic wave functions due to adsorption 66-68) which show that these binding sites represent the... 

Fig. 171 The Frumkin isotherm with both negative and positive values of the parameter f. A negative value corresponds to attractive lateral interactions among adsorbed species, which may lead to two-dimensional phase formation. Dashed lines show the hysteresis loop which is expected in such cases.

A further step in the analysis of reactivity patterns is performed by considering the so-called nonlocal descriptors. These indicators constitute measures of molecular local responses upon local perturbations. These indices are dependent of two ormore spatial positions r, r, r ",. Nonlocal descriptors are essentially associated to polarization effects between the interacting chemical species. Among the nonlocal responses, pair site descriptors (e.g., only depending on two coordinate positions) have shown great relevance for chemical reactivity in the context of spin free conceptual DFT. A key expression relating the static pair site linear response of density, to local and global DFT indicators, was first presented by Berkowitz and Parr in 1988, namely, ...
