“…The adsorption energy of an adatom or molecule on a surface is the energy required to create a bond between the adatom/molecule and the surface. The chemisorption energy of m molecules (or adatoms) adsorbed on a surface is: 156,157 Δ E f = E 0 (surf + mol) − E 0 (surf) − mE 0 (mol),where E 0 (surf + mol), E 0 (surf), and mE 0 (mol) are the ground-state energies of the surface along with the adsorbed molecules, the pristine surface, and the molecules, respectively.…”
