Theory of atomic chemisorption on simple metals
Abstract
We use the atom-jellium model of chemisorption to study the properties of an atom bonded to the surface of a simple metal. Beyond the jellium simulation of the metal substrate and the Kohn-Sham local-density description of exchange and correlation, we make no significant approximations: our solutions are parameter free, wave mechanical, and fully self-consistent. We solve this model for a set of adatoms exhibiting a variety of chemical behaviors. Properties studied include the electron-density distribution, the state density, the dipole moment, and the heat of adsorption. We discuss also the reintroduction of the discrete lattice structure of the substrate using perturbation theory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
