The calculation results show that intrinsic SnSe<sub>2</sub> is a semiconductor with a band gap value of 0.884 eV. The doping of X atoms improves the energy band tunability of the monolayer SnSe<sub>2</sub> system and becomes more stable. The N-doped SnSe<sub>2</sub> system has the most stable structure and the best doping performance. When the electric field strength of 0.3 V/Å is applied on the surface of the N-doped system, the band gap of the system increases. The energy gap gradually decreases when the electric field strength continues to increase from 0.3 V/Å to 0.9 V/Å. At an applied electric field strength of 0.9 V/Å, the system changes from semiconductor to metallic properties. As far as the optical properties are concerned, the applied electric field increases the static refractive index of the system, the imaginary part of the photoconductivity increases, the energy loss function decreases, and the light absorption performance improves. The applied electric field successfully enhanced the optical properties of the SnSe<sub>2</sub> system. The applied electric field strength of 0.9 V/Å doped N system has the best optical properties. This provides a new way to explore the optoelectronic devices based on the SnSe<sub>2</sub> doped system.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":22100,"journal":{"name":"Surface Science","volume":"750 ","pages":"Article 122591"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142099370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, gradual changes in the types of surface species were observed upon exposure of the surface to CO, indicating reaction progression.

The results demonstrate that the adsorption process of Cl<sub>2</sub> molecules on the TiC<sub>0.89</sub>O<sub>0.11</sub>(001) surface involves chemical adsorption, with a higher likelihood of dissociation into Cl atoms during adsorption. These dissociated Cl atoms can potentially interact with surface Ti and/or C atoms to form Ti-Cl bonds, C-Cl bonds, Ti-Cl-C bonds, and Ti-Cl-Ti bonds. Simultaneously, the stability of the adsorbed structure is influenced by both the bonding conditions between Cl atoms and surface atoms and the position of Cl atom adsorption (e.g., whether it is located above the vacancy C). Following adsorption, there is a weakening in the bonding strength of Ti-C or Ti-O bonds on the TiC<sub>0.89</sub>O<sub>0.11</sub>(001) surface. During the adsorption process, Cl atoms can either act as electron donors or acceptors. When the Ti-Cl bond structure is formed, Cl atoms function as electron acceptors; however, when the C-Cl bond structure is established, Cl atoms predominantly act as electron donors. Surface Ti atoms act as electron donors while surface C and O atoms function as electron acceptors. Additionally, the presence of surface carbon vacancy enhances the interaction between Cl and Ti atoms, weakens the interaction between Cl and C atoms, and attenuates the interaction between C, O, and Ti atoms in the structure.

This magnetic moment on an otherwise non-magnetic Pd atoms has been adduced to interfacial strain due to lattice mismatch between the Ni and Pd layers at the Ni&lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;mo&gt;|&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Pd interface. The effect of adsorbed oxygen on the Ni&lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;msub&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mi&gt;m&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;/msub&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;mo&gt;∣&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Pd&lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;msub&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mi&gt;n&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;/msub&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is that it increases the magnetic moment on the nickel layers. Also, regarding the magnitude of magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE), we found a high perpendicular values of 1.63 meV and 1.37 meV per unit cell respectively for Ni&lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;msub&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mi&gt;m&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;/msub&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;mo&gt;∣&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Pd&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; (&lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mi&gt;m&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mo&gt;=&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mn&gt;2&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;mo&gt;,&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mn&gt;6&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt;) which are relatively higher than those reported for other transition metal epitaxial layers. However, the presence of oxygen atom on the Ni&lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;mo&gt;∣&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Pd changes the direction and magnitude of MAE. Indeed, O adsorption favours or enhances in-plane magnetization direction depending on the thickness of the Ni layers for a fixed Pd thickness. Plots of local density of states (LDOS) which include the effect of spin–orbit coupling (SOC), show that in the case of Ni&lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;mo&gt;∣&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Pd having perpendicular MAE, there appears a new SOC-induced electronic states below and above the Fermi level. These states appears to stabilize this type of magnetic anisotropy.

Metallic aggregates play the role of those active sites found in the true catalysts. Two interaction modes between thiophene and metallic sites are considered, namely, the S-mode, in which the organosulfur molecule interacts through the S atom, and the R-mode, in which the interaction takes place through the thiophene ring. A large number of sites, in which thiophene effectively adsorbs, was found, both in the monometallic case and in the bimetallic one. Considerably larger adsorption energies were found when thiophene interacts via the R-mode than when adsorption occurs through the S-mode. The activation of C-S bonds is also more important for R-mode cases than for S-mode ones. Further analysis made on some selected systems and based on density of states and molecular orbital overlap population-projected density of states reveals that thiophene and metallic clusters interact in an energy range around −6.0 eV with respect to the Fermi energy. Bands observed at energies below −6.0 eV correspond to thiophene states that become shifted with respect to the values obtained for isolated thiophene depending on the strength of the interaction. Bands above -6.0 eV describe how C and S atoms interact with Co and Mo ones, providing both bonding and antibonding patterns that helps to understand the overall interaction. Most important is the finding that cobalt atoms seem to play no relevant role during the adsorption of thiophene on metallic sites. Thus, present results obtained using non periodic GGA density functional theory seem to point to cobalt taking part in another step of the overall HDS process, hydrogen adsorption or hydrogen attack to C-S bonds, for instance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":22100,"journal":{"name":"Surface Science","volume":"749 ","pages":"Article 122571"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141997659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
