periods cause most significant changes in the adsorption energy. In addition, simple metals and interstitial impurities reduce the oxygen–surface interaction. By analyzing local electron densities of states, charge density difference distribution, charge transfer, and the overlap population of oxygen bonds to nearest-neighbor atoms, we have revealed special aspects of impurity influence on chemical bonding between the titanium silicide surface and oxygen. Factors responsible for an increase/decrease in the adsorption energy of oxygen on the doped surface are discussed. A correlation between the change in adsorption energy and the electronegativity of impurities has been found. |
