Catalytic Mechanism of Pd Adsorption on S-Terminated GaAs(001)-(2 × 6) Surface

Structural and electronic properties of Pd adsorption on clean and S-terminated GaAs(001)-(2 × 6) surfaces are studied using first-principle simulations. Our calculations show that the Pd atom prefers to occupy the HH3 site. The Pd atom is lower than the S atom with 0.15 Å. The density of states ana...
