On the interaction between chemisorbed atoms at transition metal surfaces

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

A model hamiltonian is derived describing the interaction of two adsorbates. The nonorthogonality of the basis set is converted into a renormalization of the matrix elements. The interaction energy, direct and indirect of two hydrogen atoms and single particle spectral densities are calculated for adsorption on a semi infinite simple cubic solid. Correlation effects are included by a variational ansatz.
