Three cases for stabilities of a He atom at the surface are found: some of He atoms at surface atomic layers (SAL) relax into vacuum gap; some of surface He atoms at octahedral interstitial site relax into more stable tetrahedral interstitial site; some of surface He atoms still stay at tetrahedral interstitial site. The un-stability of the He atom at the surface system can be explained by deformation mechanism of charge densities and electronic densities of states. It is found that formation energy of the point defects from the topmost SAL to bulk-like atomic layer increase gradually, for example, the formation energies of a monovacancy at the first five topmost SALs are equal to 0.33, 1.56, 2.04, 2.02 and 2.11 eV, respectively. The magnetic moments of Fe atoms in the surface atomic layers are also calculated.展开更多

These metal nanoparticles were then tested for catalytic hydrodechlorination toward two classes of organochlorinated compounds (vinyl polychlorides includ- ing trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene (PCE), and alkyl polychlorides including 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA), and 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane (1,1,1,2- TeCA)) to determine the rate-limiting steps and to explore the reaction mechanisms. The surface area normalized reaction rate constant, ksA, showed a systematic depen- dence on the electronic structure (the density of states at the Fermi level) of the metals, suggesting that adsorption of organochlorinated reactants on the metal catalyst surfaces is the rate-limiting step for catalytic hydrodechlorination. Hydrodechlorination rates of 1,1,1-TCA and 1,1,1,2-TeCA agreed with the bond strength of the first (weakest) dissociated C-C1 bond, suggesting that C-C1 bond cleavage, which is the first step for dissociative adsorption of the alkyl polychlorides, controlled the catalytic hydro- dechlorination rate. However, hydrodechlorination rates of TCE and PCE correlated with the adsorption energies of their molecular (non-dissociative) adsorption on the noble metals rather than with the first C-C1 bond strength, suggesting that molecular adsorption governs the reaction rate for hydrodechlorination of the vinyl polychlorides.展开更多
