Abstract

By employing ab-initio total-energy and electronic-structure calculations based on the density-functional theory, we studied the effects of surface strain ${\varepsilon}_s$ on the adsorption properties of a Au adatom on defective MgO(001) surfaces with surface oxygen vacancies ($F_s$ centers). The formation energy of the $F_s$ center on MgO(001) varied very slightly in the region of ${\varepsilon}_s$ from -6% to -4% and monotonically decreased with the increase in ${\varepsilon}_s$, from -4% to +6%. As ${\varepsilon}_s$ increased, the adsorption energy ($E^{Fs}_{ads}$) of Au on the $F_s$ center of strained MgO(001) monotonically decreased and, in particular, showed a much larger decrease in $E^{Fs}_{ads}$ for a tensile surface strain of ${\varepsilon}_s$ > +4%. The surface strain dependence on the physical properties, such as the charge states, the spatial charge rearrangement, for Au on the $F_s$ center of strained MgO(001) surfaces was also analyzed. These results provide important physical information on the effects of surface strain on the adsorption of Au on MgO(001) surfaces with $F_s$ centers.
