摘要: 采用第一性原理方法计算Li(110)、(100)和(111)三个表面方向3至30层自由薄膜的表面能和氢原子的吸附能.随着层厚变化出现量子振荡现象,即量子尺寸效应.重点计算Li(110)表面吸附氢原子吸附高度、吸附氢原子前后费米能级处的态密度和功函数.这些量都随着层厚变化出现明显的量子振荡,且与表面能或吸附能的振荡有明显的相关性.计算发现Li(110)薄膜表面的功函数由于吸附氢原子而降低了约0.9 eV,吸附的氢原子拉低了最外层Li原子和真空层的静电势,导致吸附氢原子后功函数下降.

Abstract: We carried out first-principles calculations of Li (110), (100) and (111) free-standing thin films from 3 to 30 monolayers to study oscillatory quantum size effects exhibited in surface energy, adsorption energy of hydrogen atoms. Furthermore, we investigated adsorption height of hydrogen atom, density of states at Fermi level and work function of Li (110) thin films. Calculated physical quantities feature clearly quantum oscillations as functions of film thickness, which is also called quantum size effects. Calculated results show clearly quantum oscillations in adsorption energetics, which can be used to modulate chemical reactivity and other surface process in nanostructure materials. Finally, calculated results show clearly that work function of Li (110) films is reduced about 0.9 eV by adsorption of hydrogen atoms. Adsorbed hydrogen atoms cut down electrostatic potential of Li atoms on the outermost layer and vacuum layer, resulting in decrease of work function with adsorption of hydrogen atoms.

Key words: first-principles calculation, quantum size effects, thin film, lithium
