The plasmon energy of the solid and liquid phases of pure Al, and an Al-Si alloy, was recorded as a function of temperature. For the case of pure Al, the trend in the solid and liquid phases followed the expected behavior based on a free (specific) volume change. Quantitatively, the slope of Ep versus T was −0.5 meV/K…

We have investigated the O 2 molecular and dissociative adsorption on Ag(111) surfaces. To clarify the adsorption properties, we performed first principles calculation based on spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange–correlation energy. We calculated…
