摘要
We report a first principles study on the structure and energetics of thin films of molybdenum on a (110) surface of rutile TiO2. Mo films with 1 x 1 epitaxy in the coverage range between 0.5 and 2 monolayer are investigated. The most stable structures are those which maximize the number of Mo-Mo bonds. This leads to two-dimensional structures with zigzag Mo-Mo coordination for I monolayer coverage and three-dimensional structures with approximately body-centered cubic coordination for higher coverage. For a coverage up to 1.5 monolayers, the interface Mo atoms preferentially occupy the so-called upper hollow adsorption site with three Mo-O bonds. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
