We examine surface reconstructions of Pt and Au(557) under |
72 |
|
|
various CO coverages using molecular dynamics in order to |
73 |
|
|
explore possible mechanisms for any observed reconstructions |
74 |
|
|
and their dynamics. The metal-CO interactions were parameterized |
75 |
|
|
as part of this work so that an efficient large-scale treatment of |
76 |
|
|
this system could be undertaken. The large difference in binding |
77 |
|
|
strengths of the metal-CO interactions was found to play a significant |
78 |
|
|
role with regards to step-edge stability and adatom diffusion. A |
79 |
|
|
small correlation between coverage and the diffusion constant |
80 |
|
|
was also determined. The energetics of CO adsorbed to the surface |
81 |
|
|
is sufficient to explain the reconstructions observed on the Pt |
82 |
|
|
systems and the lack of reconstruction of the Au systems. |

% Importance: catalytically active metals are important |

% Sub: Designing catalysis is the future, and will play an important role in numerous processes (ones that are currently seen to be impractical, or at least inefficient) |
93 |

Industrial catalysts usually consist of small particles that exhibit a |
98 |
|
|
high concentration of steps, kink sites, and vacancies at the edges of |
99 |
|
|
the facets. These sites are thought to be the locations of catalytic |
100 |
gezelter |
3808 |
activity.\cite{ISI:000083038000001,ISI:000083924800001} There is now |
101 |
gezelter |
3826 |
significant evidence that solid surfaces are often structurally, |
102 |
|
|
compositionally, and chemically modified by reactants under operating |
103 |
|
|
conditions.\cite{Tao2008,Tao:2010,Tao2011} The coupling between |
104 |
|
|
surface oxidation states and catalytic activity for CO oxidation on |
105 |
|
|
Pt, for instance, is widely documented.\cite{Ertl08,Hendriksen:2002} |
106 |
|
|
Despite the well-documented role of these effects on reactivity, the |
107 |
|
|
ability to capture or predict them in atomistic models is somewhat |
108 |
|
|
limited. While these effects are perhaps unsurprising on the highly |
109 |
|
|
disperse, multi-faceted nanoscale particles that characterize |
110 |
|
|
industrial catalysts, they are manifest even on ordered, well-defined |
111 |
|
|
surfaces. The Pt(557) surface, for example, exhibits substantial and |
112 |
|
|
reversible restructuring under exposure to moderate pressures of |
113 |
|
|
carbon monoxide.\cite{Tao:2010} |
114 |
jmichalk |
3802 |
|
115 |
jmichalk |
3866 |
This work is an attempt to understand the mechanism and timescale for |
116 |
jmichalk |
3868 |
surface restructuring by using molecular simulations. Since the dynamics |
117 |
jmichalk |
3866 |
of the process are of particular interest, we employ classical force |
118 |
gezelter |
3826 |
fields that represent a compromise between chemical accuracy and the |
119 |
jmichalk |
3866 |
computational efficiency necessary to simulate the process of interest. |
120 |
jmichalk |
3868 |
Since restructuring typically occurs as a result of specific interactions of the |
121 |
|
|
catalyst with adsorbates, in this work, two metal systems exposed |
122 |
jmichalk |
3866 |
to carbon monoxide were examined. The Pt(557) surface has already been shown |
123 |
gezelter |
3826 |
to reconstruct under certain conditions. The Au(557) surface, because |
124 |
|
|
of a weaker interaction with CO, is less likely to undergo this kind |
125 |
jmichalk |
3868 |
of reconstruction. |

\section{Simulation Methods} |
133 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
The challenge in modeling any solid/gas interface is the |
134 |
gezelter |
3808 |
development of a sufficiently general yet computationally tractable |
135 |
|
|
model of the chemical interactions between the surface atoms and |
136 |
|
|
adsorbates. Since the interfaces involved are quite large (10$^3$ - |
137 |
|
|
10$^6$ atoms) and respond slowly to perturbations, {\it ab initio} |
138 |
|
|
molecular dynamics |
139 |
|
|
(AIMD),\cite{KRESSE:1993ve,KRESSE:1993qf,KRESSE:1994ul} Car-Parrinello |
140 |
|
|
methods,\cite{CAR:1985bh,Izvekov:2000fv,Guidelli:2000fy} and quantum |
141 |
|
|
mechanical potential energy surfaces remain out of reach. |
142 |
|
|
Additionally, the ``bonds'' between metal atoms at a surface are |
143 |
|
|
typically not well represented in terms of classical pairwise |
144 |
|
|
interactions in the same way that bonds in a molecular material are, |
145 |
|
|
nor are they captured by simple non-directional interactions like the |
146 |
gezelter |
3826 |
Coulomb potential. For this work, we have used classical molecular |
147 |
|
|
dynamics with potential energy surfaces that are specifically tuned |
148 |
|
|
for transition metals. In particular, we used the EAM potential for |
149 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
Au-Au and Pt-Pt interactions\cite{EAM}. The CO was modeled using a rigid |
150 |
gezelter |
3826 |
three-site model developed by Straub and Karplus for studying |
151 |
|
|
photodissociation of CO from myoglobin.\cite{Straub} The Au-CO and |
152 |
|
|
Pt-CO cross interactions were parameterized as part of this work. |
153 |
gezelter |
3808 |
|
154 |
|
|
\subsection{Metal-metal interactions} |
155 |
gezelter |
3826 |
Many of the potentials used for modeling transition metals are based |
156 |
|
|
on a non-pairwise additive functional of the local electron |
157 |
|
|
density. The embedded atom method (EAM) is perhaps the best known of |
158 |
|
|
these |
159 |
gezelter |
3808 |
methods,\cite{Daw84,Foiles86,Johnson89,Daw89,Plimpton93,Voter95a,Lu97,Alemany98} |
160 |
|
|
but other models like the Finnis-Sinclair\cite{Finnis84,Chen90} and |
161 |
|
|
the quantum-corrected Sutton-Chen method\cite{QSC,Qi99} have simpler |
162 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
parameter sets. The glue model of Ercolessi et al. is among the |
163 |
gezelter |
3808 |
fastest of these density functional approaches.\cite{Ercolessi88} In |
164 |
|
|
all of these models, atoms are conceptualized as a positively charged |
165 |
|
|
core with a radially-decaying valence electron distribution. To |
166 |
|
|
calculate the energy for embedding the core at a particular location, |
167 |
|
|
the electron density due to the valence electrons at all of the other |
168 |
gezelter |
3826 |
atomic sites is computed at atom $i$'s location, |
169 |
gezelter |
3808 |
\begin{equation*} |
170 |
|
|
\bar{\rho}_i = \sum_{j\neq i} \rho_j(r_{ij}) |
171 |
|
|
\end{equation*} |
172 |
|
|
Here, $\rho_j(r_{ij})$ is the function that describes the distance |
173 |
|
|
dependence of the valence electron distribution of atom $j$. The |
174 |
|
|
contribution to the potential that comes from placing atom $i$ at that |
175 |
|
|
location is then |
176 |
|
|
\begin{equation*} |
177 |
|
|
V_i = F[ \bar{\rho}_i ] + \sum_{j \neq i} \phi_{ij}(r_{ij}) |
178 |
|
|
\end{equation*} |
179 |
|
|
where $F[ \bar{\rho}_i ]$ is an energy embedding functional, and |
180 |
jmichalk |
3866 |
$\phi_{ij}(r_{ij})$ is a pairwise term that is meant to represent the |
181 |
|
|
repulsive overlap of the two positively charged cores. |

% The {\it modified} embedded atom method (MEAM) adds angular terms to |
184 |
|

% the electron density functions and an angular screening factor to the |
185 |

186 |
|
|
% atoms.\cite{BASKES:1994fk,Lee:2000vn,Thijsse:2002ly,Timonova:2011ve} |
187 |
|
|
% MEAM has become widely used to simulate systems in which angular |

\subsection{Carbon Monoxide model} |
203 |
jmichalk |
3866 |
Previous explanations for the surface rearrangements center on |
204 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
the large linear quadrupole moment of carbon monoxide.\cite{Tao:2010} |
205 |
jmichalk |
3866 |
We used a model first proposed by Karplus and Straub to study |
206 |
|
|
the photodissociation of CO from myoglobin because it reproduces |
207 |
|
|
the quadrupole moment well.\cite{Straub} The Straub and |
208 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
Karplus model, treats CO as a rigid three site molecule with a massless M |
209 |
|
|
site at the molecular center of mass. The geometry and interaction |
210 |
|
|
parameters are reproduced in Table~\ref{tab:CO}. The effective |
211 |
jmichalk |
3827 |
dipole moment, calculated from the assigned charges, is still |
212 |
|
|
small (0.35 D) while the linear quadrupole (-2.40 D~\AA) is close |
213 |
|
|
to the experimental (-2.63 D~\AA)\cite{QuadrupoleCO} and quantum |
214 |
jmichalk |
3812 |
mechanical predictions (-2.46 D~\AA)\cite{QuadrupoleCOCalc}. |

\subsection{Cross-Interactions between the metals and carbon monoxide} |
235 |
jmichalk |
3802 |
|
236 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
Since the adsorption of CO onto a Pt surface has been the focus |
237 |
gezelter |
3826 |
of much experimental \cite{Yeo, Hopster:1978, Ertl:1977, Kelemen:1979} |
238 |
|
|
and theoretical work |
239 |
|
|
\cite{Beurden:2002ys,Pons:1986,Deshlahra:2009,Feibelman:2001,Mason:2004} |
240 |
|
|
there is a significant amount of data on adsorption energies for CO on |
241 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
clean metal surfaces. An earlier model by Korzeniewski {\it et |
242 |
|
|
al.}\cite{Pons:1986} served as a starting point for our fits. The parameters were |
243 |
gezelter |
3826 |
modified to ensure that the Pt-CO interaction favored the atop binding |
244 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
position on Pt(111). These parameters are reproduced in Table~\ref{tab:co_parameters}. |
245 |
|
|
The modified parameters yield binding energies that are slightly higher |
246 |
jmichalk |
3866 |
than the experimentally-reported values as shown in Table~\ref{tab:co_energies}. Following Korzeniewski |
247 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
et al.,\cite{Pons:1986} the Pt-C interaction was fit to a deep |
248 |
gezelter |
3826 |
Lennard-Jones interaction to mimic strong, but short-ranged partial |
249 |
|
|
binding between the Pt $d$ orbitals and the $\pi^*$ orbital on CO. The |
250 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
Pt-O interaction was modeled with a Morse potential with a large |
251 |
|
|
equilibrium distance, ($r_o$). These choices ensure that the C is preferred |
252 |
|
|
over O as the surface-binding atom. In most cases, the Pt-O parameterization contributes a weak |
253 |
gezelter |
3826 |
repulsion which favors the atop site. The resulting potential-energy |
254 |
|
|
surface suitably recovers the calculated Pt-C separation length |
255 |
|
|
(1.6~\AA)\cite{Beurden:2002ys} and affinity for the atop binding |
256 |
|
|
position.\cite{Deshlahra:2012, Hopster:1978} |

|
|
%same cutoff for slab and slab + CO ? seems low, although feibelmen had values around there... |
261 |
jmichalk |
3866 |
The Au-C and Au-O cross-interactions were also fit using Lennard-Jones and |
262 |
gezelter |
3818 |
Morse potentials, respectively, to reproduce Au-CO binding energies. |
263 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
The limited experimental data for CO adsorption on Au required refining the fits against plane-wave DFT calculations. |
264 |
jmichalk |
3866 |
Adsorption energies were obtained from gas-surface DFT calculations with a |
265 |
gezelter |
3826 |
periodic supercell plane-wave basis approach, as implemented in the |
266 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
{\sc Quantum ESPRESSO} package.\cite{QE-2009} Electron cores were |
267 |

In testing the Au-CO interaction, Au(111) supercells were constructed of four layers of 4 |
274 |
gezelter |
3818 |
Au x 2 Au surface planes and separated from vertical images by six |
275 |
jmichalk |
3866 |
layers of vacuum space. The surface atoms were all allowed to relax |
276 |
|
|
before CO was added to the system. Electronic relaxations were |
277 |
|
|
performed until the energy difference between subsequent steps |
278 |
|
|
was less than $10^{-8}$ Ry. Nonspin-polarized supercell calculations |
279 |
|
|
were performed with a 4~x~4~x~4 Monkhorst-Pack {\bf k}-point sampling of the first Brillouin |
280 |
gezelter |
3826 |
zone.\cite{Monkhorst:1976,PhysRevB.13.5188} The relaxed gold slab was |
281 |
|
|
then used in numerous single point calculations with CO at various |
282 |
|
|
heights (and angles relative to the surface) to allow fitting of the |
283 |

\subsection{Pt(557) and Au(557) metal interfaces} |
333 |
jmichalk |
3802 |
|
334 |
jmichalk |
3827 |
Our model systems are composed of 3888 Pt atoms and 3384 Au atoms in a |
335 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
FCC crystal that have been cut along the (557) plane so that they are |
336 |
|
|
periodic in the {\it x} and {\it y} directions, and have been oriented |
337 |
|
|
to expose two aligned (557) cuts along the extended {\it |
338 |
gezelter |
3826 |
z}-axis. Simulations of the bare metal interfaces at temperatures |
339 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
ranging from 300~K to 1200~K were performed to observe the relative |
340 |
gezelter |
3826 |
stability of the surfaces without a CO overlayer. |
341 |
jmichalk |
3802 |
|
342 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
The different bulk melting temperatures (1337~K for Au |
343 |
|
|
and 2045~K for Pt) suggest that any possible reconstruction should happen at |
344 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
different temperatures for the two metals. The bare Au and Pt surfaces were |
345 |
gezelter |
3826 |
initially run in the canonical (NVT) ensemble at 800~K and 1000~K |
346 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
respectively for 100 ps. The two surfaces were relatively stable at these |
347 |
|
|
temperatures when no CO was present, but experienced increased surface |
348 |
|
|
mobility on addition of CO. Each surface was then dosed with different concentrations of CO |
349 |
gezelter |
3826 |
that was initially placed in the vacuum region. Upon full adsorption, |
350 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
these concentrations correspond to 0\%, 5\%, 25\%, 33\%, and 50\% surface |
351 |
|
|
coverage. Higher coverages resulted in CO double layer formation, which introduces artifacts that are not relevant to (557) reconstruction. |
352 |
|
|
Because of the difference in binding energies, nearly all of the CO was bound to the Pt surface, while |
353 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
the Au surfaces often had a significant CO population in the gas |
354 |
gezelter |
3826 |
phase. These systems were allowed to reach thermal equilibrium (over |
355 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
5 ns) before being run in the microcanonical (NVE) ensemble for |
356 |
gezelter |
3826 |
data collection. All of the systems examined had at least 40 ns in the |
357 |
|
|
data collection stage, although simulation times for some of the |
358 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
systems exceeded 200~ns. Simulations were run using the open |

\section{Results} |

\subsection{Structural remodeling} |
370 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
Tao et al. have shown experimentally that the Pt(557) surface |
371 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
undergoes two separate reconstructions upon CO |
372 |
|
|
adsorption.\cite{Tao:2010} The first involves a doubling of |
373 |
|
|
the step height and plateau length. Similar behavior has been |
374 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
seen to occur on numerous surfaces at varying conditions: Ni(977), Si(111). |
375 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
\cite{Williams:1994,Williams:1991,Pearl} Of the two systems |
376 |
|
|
we examined, the Pt system showed a larger amount of |
377 |
|
|
reconstruction when compared to the Au system. The amount |
378 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
of reconstruction is correlated to the amount of CO |
379 |
|
|
adsorbed upon the surface. This appears to be related to the |
380 |
|
|
effect that adsorbate coverage has on edge breakup and on the surface |
381 |
|
|
diffusion of metal adatoms. While both systems displayed step-edge |
382 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
wandering, only the Pt surface underwent the doubling seen by |
383 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
Tao et al. within the time scales studied here. |
384 |
|
|
Only the 50~\% coverage Pt system exhibited |
385 |
|
|
a complete doubling in the time scales we |
386 |
|
|
were able to monitor. Over longer periods (150~ns) two more double layers formed on this interface. |
387 |
|
|
Although double layer formation did not occur in the other Pt systems, they show |
388 |
|
|
more lateral movement of the step-edges |
389 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
compared to the Au systems. The 50\% Pt system is highlighted |
390 |
|
|
in Figure \ref{fig:reconstruct} at various times along the simulation |
391 |

3869 |
showing the evolution of a step-edge. |

The second reconstruction on the Pt(557) surface observed by |
394 |
|
|
Tao involved the formation of triangular clusters that stretched |
395 |
|
|
across the plateau between two step-edges. Neither system, within |
396 |
jmichalk |
3869 |
the 40~ns time scale, experienced this reconstruction. |

\subsection{Dynamics} |
399 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
While atomistic-like simulations of stepped surfaces have been |
400 |
|
|
performed before, they tend to be performed using Monte Carlo |
401 |
|
|
techniques\cite{Williams:1991,Williams:1994}. This allows them |
402 |
|
|
to efficiently sample the equilibrium thermodynamic landscape |
403 |
|
|
but at the expense of ignoring the dynamics of the system. Previous |
404 |
|
|
work by Pearl and Sibener\cite{Pearl}, using STM, has been able to |
405 |
|
|
visualize the coalescing of steps of Ni(977). The time scale of the image |
406 |
|
|
acquisition, $\sim$70 s/image provides an upper bounds for the time |
407 |
|
|
required for the doubling to actually occur. Statistical treatments of step-edges |
408 |
|
|
are adept at analyzing such systems. However, in a system where |
409 |
|
|
the number of steps is limited, examining the individual atoms that make |
410 |
|
|
up the steps can provide useful information as well. |

\subsubsection{Transport of surface metal atoms} |
414 |
jmichalk |
3862 |
%forcedSystems/stepSeparation |
415 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
The movement or wandering of a step-edge is a cooperative effect |
416 |
|
|
arising from the individual movements, primarily through surface |
417 |
|
|
diffusion, of the atoms making up the step. An ideal metal surface |
418 |
|
|
displaying a low index facet, (111) or (100) is unlikely to experience |
419 |
|
|
much surface diffusion because of the large energetic barrier that must |
420 |
|
|
be overcome to lift an atom out of the surface. The presence of step-edges |
421 |
|
|
on higher-index surfaces provide a source for mobile metal atoms. |
422 |
|
|
Breaking away from the step-edge on a clean surface still imposes an |
423 |
|
|
energetic penalty around $\sim$~40 kcal/mole, but is much less than lifting |
424 |
|
|
the same metal atom out from the surface, \textgreater~60 kcal/mole, and |
425 |
|
|
the penalty lowers even further when CO is present in sufficient quantities |
426 |
|
|
on the surface. For certain tested distributions of CO, the penalty was lowered |
427 |
|
|
to $\sim$~20 kcal/mole. Once an adatom exists on the surface, its barrier for |
428 |
|
|
diffusion is negligible ( \textless~4 kcal/mole) and is well able to explore the |
429 |
|
|
terrace before potentially rejoining its original step-edge or becoming a part |
430 |
|
|
of a different edge. Atoms traversing separate terraces is a more difficult |
431 |
|
|
process, but can be overcome through a joining and lifting stage which is |
432 |
|
|
examined in the discussion section. By tracking the mobility of individual |
433 |
|
|
metal atoms on the Pt and Au surfaces we were able to determine the relative |
434 |
|
|
diffusion rates and how varying coverages of CO affected the rates. Close |
435 |
|
|
observation of the mobile metal atoms showed that they were typically in |
436 |
|
|
equilibrium with the step-edges, constantly breaking apart and rejoining. |
437 |
|
|
At times their motion was concerted and two or more adatoms would be |
438 |
|
|
observed moving together across the surfaces. The primary challenge in |
439 |
|
|
quantifying the overall surface mobility was in defining ``mobile" vs. ``static" atoms. |
440 |
gezelter |
3826 |
|
441 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
A particle was considered mobile once it had traveled more than 2~\AA~ |
442 |
|
|
between saved configurations of the system (10-100 ps). An atom that was |
443 |
|
|
truly mobile would typically travel much greater than this, but the 2~\AA~ cutoff |
444 |
|
|
was to prevent the in-place vibrational movement of non-surface atoms from |
445 |
|
|
being included in the analysis. Diffusion on a surface is strongly affected by |
446 |
|
|
local structures and in this work the presence of single and double layer |
447 |
|
|
step-edges causes the diffusion parallel to the step-edges to be different |
448 |
|
|
from the diffusion perpendicular to these edges. This led us to compute |
449 |
|
|
those diffusions separately as seen in Figure \ref{fig:diff}. |

\subsubsection{Double layer formation} |
452 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
The increased amounts of diffusion on Pt at the higher CO coverages appears |
453 |
|
|
to play a primary role in the formation of double layers, although this conclusion |
454 |
|
|
does not explain the 33\% coverage Pt system. On the 50\% system, three |
455 |
|
|
separate layers were formed over the extended run time of this system. As |
456 |
|
|
mentioned earlier, previous experimental work has given some insight into the |
457 |
|
|
upper bounds of the time required for enough atoms to move around to allow two |
458 |
|
|
steps to coalesce\cite{Williams:1991,Pearl}. As seen in Figure \ref{fig:reconstruct}, |
459 |
|
|
the first appearance of a double layer, a nodal site, appears at 19 ns into the |
460 |
|
|
simulation. Within 12 ns, nearly half of the step has formed the double layer and |
461 |
|
|
by 86 ns, a smooth complete layer has formed. The double layer is ``complete" by |
462 |
|
|
37 ns but is a bit rough. From the appearance of the first node to the initial doubling |
463 |
|
|
of the layers ignoring their roughness took $\sim$~20 ns. Another ~40 ns was |
464 |
|
|
necessary for the layer to completely straighten. The other two layers in this |
465 |
|
|
simulation form over a period of 22 ns and 42 ns respectively. Comparing this to |
466 |
|
|
the upper bounds of the image scan, it is likely that aspects of this reconstruction |
467 |
|
|
occur very quickly. |

\section{Discussion} |
501 |
jmichalk |
3862 |
In this paper we have shown that we were able to accurately model the initial reconstruction of the |
502 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
Pt(557) surface upon CO adsorption as shown by Tao et al. \cite{Tao:2010}. More importantly, we |
503 |
|
|
were able to observe the dynamic processes necessary for this reconstruction. |

\subsection{Mechanism for restructuring} |
506 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
Comparing the results from simulation to those reported previously by |
507 |
|
|
Tao et al.\cite{Tao:2010} the similarities in the Pt-CO system are quite |
508 |
|
|
strong. As shown in Figure \ref{fig:reconstruct}, the simulated Pt |
509 |
|
|
system under a CO atmosphere will restructure by doubling the terrace |
510 |
|
|
heights. The restructuring occurs slowly, one to two Pt atoms at a time. |
511 |
|
|
Looking at individual configurations of the system, the adatoms either |
512 |
|
|
break away from the step-edge and stay on the lower terrace or they lift |
513 |
|
|
up onto the higher terrace. Once ``free'' they will diffuse on the terrace |
514 |
|
|
until reaching another step-edge or coming back to their original edge. |
515 |
|
|
This combination of growth and decay of the step-edges is in a state of |
516 |
|
|
dynamic equilibrium. However, once two previously separated edges |
517 |
|
|
meet as shown in Figure 1.B, this meeting point tends to act as a focus |
518 |
|
|
or growth point for the rest of the edge to meet up, akin to that of a zipper. |
519 |
|
|
From the handful of cases where a double layer was formed during the |
520 |
|
|
simulation, measuring from the initial appearance of a growth point, the |
521 |
|
|
double layer tends to be fully formed within $\sim$~35 ns. |

A number of possible mechanisms exist to explain the role of adsorbed |
524 |
|
|
CO in restructuring the Pt surface. Quadrupolar repulsion between adjacent |
525 |
|
|
CO molecules adsorbed on the surface is one likely possibility. However, |
526 |
|
|
the quadrupole-quadrupole interaction is short-ranged and is attractive for |
527 |
|
|
some orientations. If the CO molecules are ``locked'' in a specific orientation |
528 |
|
|
relative to each other, through atop adsorption perhaps, this explanation |
529 |
|
|
gains some weight. The energetic repulsion between two CO located a |
530 |
|
|
distance of 2.77~\AA~apart (nearest-neighbor distance of Pt) with both in |
531 |
|
|
a vertical orientation is 8.62 kcal/mole. Moving the CO apart to the second |
532 |
|
|
nearest-neighbor distance of 4.8~\AA~or 5.54~\AA~drops the repulsion to |
533 |
|
|
nearly 0 kcal/mole. Allowing the CO's to leave a purely vertical orientation |
534 |
|
|
also quickly drops the repulsion, a minimum is reached at $\sim$24 degrees |
535 |
|
|
of 6.2 kcal/mole. As mentioned above, the energy barrier for surface diffusion |
536 |
|
|
of a Pt adatom is only 4 kcal/mole. So this repulsion between CO can help |
537 |
|
|
increase the surface diffusion. However, the residence time of CO was |
538 |
|
|
examined and while the majority of the CO is on or near the surface throughout |
539 |
|
|
the run, it is extremely mobile. This mobility suggests that the CO are more |
540 |
|
|
likely to shift their positions without necessarily dragging the Pt along with them. |
541 |

542 |

3862 |
Another possible and more likely mechanism for the restructuring is in the |
543 |
|
|
destabilization of strong Pt-Pt interactions by CO adsorbed on surface |
544 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
Pt atoms. This would then have the effect of increasing surface mobility |
545 |
jmichalk |
3862 |
of these atoms. To test this hypothesis, numerous configurations of |
546 |
|
|
CO in varying quantities were arranged on the higher and lower plateaus |
547 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
around a step on a otherwise clean Pt(557) surface. One representative |
548 |
|
|
configuration is displayed in Figure \ref{fig:lambda}. Single or concerted movement |
549 |
|
|
of Pt atoms was then examined to determine possible barriers. Because |
550 |
|
|
the movement was forced along a pre-defined reaction coordinate that may differ |
551 |
jmichalk |
3862 |
from the true minimum of this path, only the beginning and ending energies |
552 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
are displayed in Table \ref{tab:energies}. These values suggest that the presence of CO at suitable |
553 |
|
|
locations can lead to lowered barriers for Pt breaking apart from the step-edge. |
554 |
|
|
Additionally, as highlighted in Figure \ref{fig:lambda}, the presence of CO makes the |
555 |
|
|
burrowing and lifting of adatoms favorable, whereas without CO, the process is neutral |
556 |
jmichalk |
3862 |
in terms of energetics. |

565 |
|
|
in Table \ref{tab:rxcoord}, relative to the energy of the system at 0\%, there |

567 |

\subsection{Diffusion} |
574 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
As shown in the results section, the diffusion parallel to the step-edge tends to be |
575 |
|
|
much larger than that perpendicular to the step-edge, likely because of the dynamic |
576 |
|
|
equilibrium that is established between the step-edge and adatom interface. The coverage |
577 |
|
|
of CO also appears to play a slight role in relative rates of diffusion, as shown in Figure \ref{fig:diff}. |

Thus, the bottleneck of the double layer formation appears to be the initial formation |
580 |
|
|
of this growth point, which seems to be somewhat of a stochastic event. Once it |
581 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
appears, parallel diffusion, along the now slightly angled step-edge, will allow for |
582 |
jmichalk |
3862 |
a faster formation of the double layer than if the entire process were dependent on |
583 |
|
|
only perpendicular diffusion across the plateaus. Thus, the larger $D_{\perp}$, the |
584 |
|
|
more likely a growth point is to be formed. |

\section{Conclusion} |
623 |
jmichalk |
3867 |
In this work we have shown the reconstruction of the Pt(557) crystalline surface upon adsorption of CO in < $\mu s$. Only the highest coverage Pt system showed this initial reconstruction similar to that seen previously. The strong interaction between Pt and CO and the limited interaction between Au and CO helps explain the differences between the two systems. |
