Electron-hole pair creation by atoms incident on a metal surface
J. R. Trail, D. M. Bird, M. Persson +1
Electron-hole pair creation by an adsorbate incident on a metal surface is described using \textit{ab initio} methods. The approach starts with standard first principles electronic…
Energy loss of atoms at metal surfaces due to electron-hole pair excitations: First-principles theory of "chemicurrents"
J. R. Trail, M. C. Graham, D. M. Bird +2
A method is presented for calculating electron-hole pair excitation due to an incident atom or molecule interacting with a metal surface. Energy loss is described using an \textit{…
Newns-Anderson model of chemicurrents in H/Cu and H/Ag
M. S. Mizielinski, D. M. Bird, M. Persson +1
The excitation of the electronic system induced by the adsorption of a hydrogen atom on the (111) surfaces of copper and silver is investigated using the time-dependent, mean-field…
Spectrum of electronic excitations due to the adsorption of atoms on metal surfaces
M. S. Mizielinski, D. M. Bird, M. Persson +1
The time-dependent, mean-field Newns-Anderson model for a spin-polarised adsorbate approaching a metallic surface is solved in the wide-band limit. Equations for the time-evolution…
