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{…
