摘要
We present local density-functional results for structural and electronic properties of Al2O3(0001), clean and with Pt and Ag adsorption. Significant surface relaxations penetrate to the third oxygen layer, 5.2 Angstrom below the surface. The dominant mechanism of metal adhesion is polarization and is relatively weak (similar or equal to 0.4 and 0.6 eV/atom for Ag and Pt, respectively); however, isolated metal atoms bind up to 5X as strongly with an ionic bond induced by the surface Madelung potential.
