125   \section{Simulation Methods}
126   The challenge in modeling any solid/gas interface problem is the
127   development of a sufficiently general yet computationally tractable
# Line 248 | Line 250 | The Au-C and Au-O interaction parameters were also fit
250   %where did you actually get the functionals for citation?
251   %scf calculations, so initial relaxation was of the four layers, but two layers weren't kept fixed, I don't think
252   %same cutoff for slab and slab + CO ? seems low, although feibelmen had values around there...
253 < The Au-C and Au-O interaction parameters were also fit to a Lennard-Jones
254 < and Morse potential respectively, to reproduce Au-CO binding energies.
253 < These energies were obtained from quantum calculations carried out using
254 < the PBE GGA exchange-correlation functionals\cite{Perdew_GGA} for gold, carbon, and oxygen
255 < constructed by Rappe, Rabe, Kaxiras, and Joannopoulos. \cite{RRKJ_PP}.
256 < All calculations were run using the {\sc Quantum ESPRESSO} package. \cite{QE-2009}  
257 < First, a four layer slab of gold comprised of 32 atoms displaying a (111) surface was
258 < converged using a 4X4X4 grid of Monkhorst-Pack \emph{k}-points.\cite{Monkhorst:1976}
259 < The kinetic energy of the wavefunctions were truncated at 20 Ry while the
260 < cutoff for the charge density and potential was set at 80 Ry. This relaxed
261 < gold slab was then used in numerous single point calculations  with CO at various heights
262 < to create a potential energy surface for the Au-CO interaction.
253 > The Au-C and Au-O cross-interactions were fit using Lennard-Jones and
254 > Morse potentials, respectively, to reproduce Au-CO binding energies.
255  
256 + The fits were refined against gas-surface calculations using DFT with
257 + a periodic supercell plane-wave basis approach, as implemented in the
258 + {\sc Quantum ESPRESSO} package.\cite{QE-2009} Electron cores are
259 + described with the projector augmented-wave (PAW)
260 + method,\cite{PhysRevB.50.17953,PhysRevB.59.1758} with plane waves
261 + included to an energy cutoff of 20 Ry. Electronic energies are
262 + computed with the PBE implementation of the generalized gradient
263 + approximation (GGA) for gold, carbon, and oxygen that was constructed
264 + by Rappe, Rabe, Kaxiras, and Joannopoulos.\cite{Perdew_GGA,RRKJ_PP}
265 + Ionic relaxations were performed until the energy difference between
266 + subsequent steps was less than 0.0001 eV.  In testing the CO-Au
267 + interaction, Au(111) supercells were constructed of four layers of 4
268 + Au x 2 Au surface planes and separated from vertical images by six
269 + layers of vacuum space. The surface atoms were all allowed to relax.
270 + Supercell calculations were performed nonspin-polarized, and energies
271 + were converged to within 0.03 meV per Au atom with a 4 x 4 x 4
272 + Monkhorst-Pack\cite{Monkhorst:1976,PhysRevB.13.5188} {\bf k}-point
273 + sampling of the first Brillouin zone.  The relaxed gold slab was then
274 + used in numerous single point calculations with CO at various heights
275 + (and angles relative to the surface) to allow fitting of the empirical
276 + force field.

279   The fit parameter sets employed in this work are shown in Table 2 and their
280   reproduction of the binding energies are displayed in Table 3. Currently,
