Overview
The book provides an introduction to the Green-Function (GF) theory of chemisorption. It is self-contained and requires only a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics. The GF approach lends itself well to the pedagogically desirable modellistic treatment of the subject. Throughout each chapter, step-by-step details are provided by which the calculations are performed, so that readers are led from the simple to the more advanced aspects, in a straightforward manner. In this way, students gain confidence to read the current literature on their own.
This book includes:
- A straightforward introduction into Green-Function Theory of Chemisorption
- The mathematical foundation of the Green Function Method
- Electron- electron interaction on the adatom
- Demonstration of the power and versatility of the technique
- Metalized semiconductor substrates as example of supported catalysts
- Electronic properties of disordered binary alloys and treatment of chemisorption on such substrates
- Chemisorption on electrified substrates
- Implications of two atoms interacting with a substrate on adatom formation
- Extensive Appendices
