The adsorption of thiolates on Au surfaces employing density-functional-theory calculations has
been studied. The dissociative chemisorption of dimethyl disulfide (CH3S−SCH3) on 14 different
Au(hkl) is used as a model system. We discuss trends on adsorption energies, bond lengths, and bond
angles as the surface structure changes, considering every possible Au(hkl) with h, k, l ≤ 3 plus
the kinked Au(421). Methanethiolate (CH3S-) prefers adsorption on bridge sites on all surfaces considered;
hollow and on top sites are highly unfavourable. The interface tensions for Au(hkl)-thiolate
interfaces is determined at low coverage. Using the interface tensions in a Wulff construction method,
we construct atomistic models for the equilibrium shape of large thiolate-covered gold nanoparticles.
Gold atoms in a nanoparticle change their equilibrium positions upon adsorption of thiolates towards
shapes of higher sphericity and higher concentration of step-edge atoms.

Fojt, Jakub; Rossi, Tuomas P.; Antosiewicz, Tomasz J.; Kuisma, Mikael; Erhart, Paul (American Institute of Physics, 2021)Strong light–matter interactions facilitate not only emerging applications in quantum and non-linear optics but also modifications of properties of materials. In particular, the latter possibility has spurred the development ... -
Approximate energy functionals for one-body reduced density matrix functional theory from many-body perturbation theory
Giesbertz, Klaas J.
