Memory-dependent electronic friction for nonadiabatic dynamics at metal surfaces

Xuexun Lu, Connor L. Box, Nils Hertl +1

Electronic excitation induced by nuclear motion is a key energy dissipation channel in chemical dynamics at metal surfaces. Here, nonadiabatic effects can be treated via molecular…

First-principles Newns-Anderson Hamiltonian Construction for Chemisorbed Hydrogen at Metal Surfaces

Nils Hertl, Zsuszanna Koczor-Benda, Reinhard J. Maurer

The Newns-Anderson Hamiltonian is widely used to describe adsorption at gas-solid interfaces, yet its construction typically relies on simplifying assumptions such as constant coup…

Mode selectivity in electron promoted vibrational relaxation of chemisorbed hydrogen on molybdenum and tungsten surfaces

Nils Hertl, Connor L. Box, Reinhard J. Maurer

Electron-phonon coupling in atoms and molecules adsorbed at metal surfaces gives rise to finite vibrational linewidths in infrared or electron energy loss spectra. When it is the d…

A Haldane-Anderson Hamiltonian Model for Hyperthermal Hydrogen Scattering from a Semiconductor Surface

Xuexun Lu, Nils Hertl, Sara Oregioni +5

Collisions of atoms and molecules with metal surfaces create electronic excitations in the metal, leading to nonadiabatic energy dissipation, inelastic scattering, and sticking. Mi…

Room Temperature Hydrogen Atom Scattering Experiments Are Not a Sufficient Benchmark to Validate Electronic Friction Theory

Connor L. Box, Nils Hertl, Wojciech G. Stark +1

In the dynamics of atoms and molecules at metal surfaces, electron-hole pair excitations can play a crucial role. In the case of hyperthermal hydrogen atom scattering, they lead to…

First-principles Nonadiabatic Dynamics of Molecules at Metal Surfaces with Vibrationally Coupled Electron Transfer

Gang Meng, James Gardner, Wenjie Dou +2

Accurate description of nonadiabatic dynamics of molecules at metal surfaces involving electron transfer has been a longstanding challenge for theory. Here, we tackle this problem…
