Abstract

In the present investigation, we have employed the adsorption of H-H at the bcc site of V (100) with use of an ab initio method. The most stable adsorption configuration has been found on transition metal surface with chemisorption energies. Although similar in type and energy, the adsorption on the V (100) surface shows a markedly different optimized geometry. The calculations have performed for small clusters representing three adjacent metal sites. Upon the adsorption, the molecule forms strong covalent bonds with the surface, whereupon the structure of nearby single H-H and H-V bonds change at various positions of top, bridge, and center sites in this model. We have predicted the existence of a new ordered structure comparable in stability to one proposed previously. We confirm the preference of the top approach of adsorption configuration suggested by experiment. Adsorption of H2 from the top site goes through the same from the bridge and center sites, but the former has a higher energy.
