We study the adsorption properties of the N 2 molecule on the Be (0001) surface by calculating the potential energy surfaces and analyzing the electronic densities of states. It is found that the N 2 molecule cannot adsorb molecularly on the clean Be surface, and the dissociation energy barrier of N 2 is estimated to be as large as 4.10 eV. Our studies indicate that the Be surfaces cannot be used as N 2 cleaners, but might be used to drive out N 2 molecules in automotive catalytic converters.

Several full-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs) are reported for vibrating CO adsorbates at two coverages on a rigid NaCl(100) surface based on first principles calculations. These PESs reveal a rather flat energy landscape for physisorption of vibrationless CO on NaCl(100), evidenced by various C-down adsorption patterns within a small energy range. Agreement with available experimental results is satisfactory, although quantitative differences exist. These PESs are used to explore isomerization pathways between the C-down and higher energy O-down configurations, which reveal a significant isomerization barrier. As CO vibration is excited, however, the energy order of the two isomer changes, which helps to explain the experimental observed flipping of vibrationally excited CO adsorbates.

Abstract. For the first time, accurate first principles potential energy surfaces allow N2O cross sections and isotopic fractionation spectra to be derived that are in agreement with all available experimental data, extending our knowledge to a much broader range of conditions. Absorption spectra of rare N- and O-isotopologues (15N14N16O, 14N15N16O, 15N216O, 14N217O and 14N218O) calculated using wavepacket propagation are compared to the most abundant isotopologue (14N216O). The fractionation constants as a function of wavelength and temperature are in excellent agreement with experimental data. The study shows that excitations from the 3rd excited bending state, (0,3,0), and the first combination state, (1,1,0), are important for explaining the isotope effect at wavelengths longer than 210 nm. Only a small amount of the mass independent oxygen isotope anomaly observed in atmospheric N2O samples can be explained as arising from photolysis.
