Abstract

Calculations of the adiabatic potential energy surface for atoms and molecules interacting with metal surfaces based on the effective medium theory are reviewed. For atomic chemisorption, the full potential energy surface has been calculated in a number of cases and the properties of the interaction potential can be related to the parameters describing the atom and surface in question. For molecular chemisorption and surface reactions, the effective medium theory can be used to make comparisons between binding energies and activation energies.

  20. Close to the metal atoms there is a third contribution to the interaction energy, not included in (2), describing the interaction with the, metal cores [15]. This term can in some cases contribute to energy differences along the surface, in particular on top of a surface atom. In most other cases it is negligible [15,17]
