摘要
Usingfirst-principlescalculations,wesystematicallystudythedissociationsofO2moleculesondifferentultrathinPb(111)films.AccordingtoourpreviousworkrevealingthemolecularadsorptionprecursorstatesforO2,wefurtherexplorewhytherearetwonearlydegenerateadsorptionstatesonPb(111)ultrathinfilms,butnoprecursoradsorptionstatesexistingatallonMg(0001)andAl(111)surfaces.Thereasonisconcludedtobethedifferentsurfaceelectronicstructures.FortheO2dissociation,weconsiderboththereactionchannelsfromgas-likeandmolecularlyadsorbedO2molecules.WefindthattheenergybarrierforO2dissociationfromthemolecularadsorptionprecursorstatesisalwayssmallerthanthatfromO2gas.ThemostenergeticallyfavorabledissociationprocessisfoundtobethesameondifferentPb(111)films,andtheenergybarriersarefoundtobeinfluencedbythequantumsizeeffectsofPb(111)films.
