“…In order to further confirm the adsorption and dissociation process, DFT studies were carried out, as described in the Computational Details section. Starting from the reported crystal structure of phosmet as the initial geometry, energy minimization of phosmet was performed. In order to model the CaO(1,1,1) slab, the bulk CaO structure was cleaved along the (1,1,1) face and a 3×4 supercell was created with a depth of 2 unit cells.…”
