Adsorption and solar light activity of noble metal adatoms (Au and Zn) on Fe(111) surface: a first-principles study

Abstract

Noble metals such as gold (Au), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) are highly significant in both fundamental and technological contexts owing to their applications in optoelectronics, light-emitting devices, photovoltaics, nanotechnology, batteries, and thermal barrier coatings.
