Modeling, DFT

Efforts have been made to determine the approach of monomer onto the catalysts by theoretical modelling. DFT calculations on the ion pair [(1,2-... 

To obtain realistic tip models, DFT calculations of the electronic structure of fully relaxed tungsten films with one or two surface layers of either tungsten atoms or adsorbates have proven to be the most suitable choice [22,23], The adsorbates so far considered include most transition metals. In single cases, where the (STM) tip was covered by 10-20 layers of Fe, the tip has been modeled by a Fe(100) film covered by one atom or a layer plus one atom of sample surface atoms [24].

Very recently, Viswanathan et al. " developed a multiscale model for simulating linear sweep voltammetry of electrochemical solid-liquid interfaces of H2O on Pt(l 11) and on Pt3Ni(l 11) facets. In the model, DFT was used to parameterize the reaction kinetics KMC was used to capture the kinetic steps of the electrochemical oxidation, and conventional MC was used to equilibrate the surface between kinetic steps. The calculated cyclic voltammograms are in good agreement with experimental CV - CS d the experimental XPS results (Figure 8). 

As summarized in Figure 2.2, in this chapter we describe a framework combining these methods to create a comprehensive model that can be used to describe adsorption at a fluid solid interface. We first explain the major aspects of setting up and characterizing the adsorption system within a widely accepted slab model DFT framework. We then discuss how to initialize and iteratively improve a configuration-dependent CE model of the system until self-consistency is reached. We show how the self-consistent adsorption model...
