Computational approaches to dissociative chemisorption on metals: towards chemical accuracy

“…218 The HCl + Au (111) system has recently been investigated with challenging experiments on DC 219 and on vibrationally inelastic scattering, 220 and recently experiments have also been performed on vibrationally inelastic scattering of HCl from Ag (111). 221 A number of exciting recent experiments have been performed on scattering of CO from metal surfaces, [222][223][224][225] and on oxidation of CO. 226 The experiments on vibrationally pre-excited CO scattering from Au (111) 224 have been analysed in terms of a quantitative energy landscape involving both a physisorption and a chemisorption state, and a barrier in between. 227 This analysis was in large part inspired by preceding, but very recent theoretical work demonstrating a long vibrational lifetime of physisorbed CO on Au (111) 228 and fast vibrational relaxation of CO in the chemisorption well.…”

Chemical dynamics from the gas‐phase to surfaces

“…The situation appears to be much more challenging for the reaction. Inelastic scattering probabilities for collisions at Au 266 and Ag 264 were measured as a function of surface temperature and incidence energy of translation. These results suggest that hot EHPs excite H − Cl interatomic motion efficiently near the transition state for dissociative adsorption.…”

Time-dependent density functional theory calculations of electronic friction in non-homogeneous media

“…Otherwise said, there is no minimum kinetic energy of the projectile below which it does not create electronic excitations in the target. 15 Ample experimental evidence of the interplay between electronic excitations and nuclear motion can be found in the vibrational linewidths of adsorbates, [16][17][18][19] in the detection of chemicurrents during atomic and molecular adsorption, 20,21 in the scattering of vibrationally excited molecules at surfaces, 22,23 or in the photodesorption of molecules, [24][25][26][27] to name a few cases.…”
