Chemisorption of ordered atomic layers on a model transition metal

The effect of chemisorption of ordered atomic layers with p(1x1), p(2x1), c(2x2), p(2x2), p(4x1), and c(4x2) structures on the (001) surface of a tight-binding (model transition) metal is investigated within the Newns-Anderson model using the Hartree-Fock Green's function formalism and the phase shift technique. The self-consistent adatom charge q, the heat of adsorption ΔE, and the change in the electronic density of states during chemisorption are calculated for the two binding sites (on-site and centered fourfold-site). Particular attention is paid to the H/W (001) system and the results are compared with the available experimental results. It is shown that the long-range order and adsorption geometry of the overlayers are of great importance for the electronic properties of the chemisorbed systems. (author)
