Abstract
Self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Slater molecular cluster models for the chemisorption of first row atoms on Ni(100) surfaces are presented. Energy levels and ground state charge distributions for XNiS clusters with the adatom X = H, C, N, O located in C4 V symmetry at a fixed height of h = 2.0 au above the surface are given. The variation of properties with h was studied in detail for the case of oxygen. Theoretical results compare rather well with experimental photoelectron and energy loss data. Local-densities-of-states diagrams are used to clarify the interaction between adsorbate levels and metal conduction bands.
