Using embedded-atom-method potential for Pd and MORSE potential for the interaction between H and Pd atoms, the adsorption properties of H atoms on Pd (211), (311) and (511) stepped defective surfaces were calculated ...Using embedded-atom-method potential for Pd and MORSE potential for the interaction between H and Pd atoms, the adsorption properties of H atoms on Pd (211), (311) and (511) stepped defective surfaces were calculated systematically. For Pd (311) surface, it is found that the four-fold hollow sites H4 are the preferable sites for H atoms being adsorbed on these Pd defective surfaces. The sites H4 are the most stable adsorbed sites and the three-fold hollow sites Hf and Hh are metastable ones. The calculated results are in reasonable agreement with the HREELS experiment results. For the (211) and (511) stepped defective surfaces of Pd, our calculation shows that the most stable adsorption sites are H5 and H2 respectively, both of them are four fold hollow sites.展开更多

The simulations demonstrate that the interstitial helium atoms are easily trapped at the grain boundaries and precipitated into clusters. Due to the closed-shell electronic configurations of both helium and palladium, Pd grain boundaries yield strong capability of retaining helium atoms. By calculating the mean square displacements(MSD) of an interstitial helium atom at the grain boundaries, the diffusion coefficients were determined, and the linear fits to Arrhenius relation. The diffusion activation energies of interstitial helium atom at these two Pd grain boundaries were also evaluated.展开更多
