摘要
Density-functional calculations reveal that isolated F-s and V-s surface vacancies on MgO(100) ionize single Pt atoms, roughly tripling their adsorption energy. This trapping inhibits Pt atoms from binding to other Pt atoms, resulting in a negative addimer binding energy. Hence, isolated surface vacancies demote nucleation, contrary to popular belief. A defect that does promote nucleation is the FsVs divacancy, which increases the addimer binding energy by 20%. Amongst water and its dissociation products, only adsorbed hydroxyls are found to have a similar (but stronger) effect. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
