β¦ Synopsis
The chemisorption of atomic hydrogen and oxygen on a cobalt surface has been studied on a five-atom cluster model using one-electron effective core potential ( l e -E c p ) and all-electron calculations at the ab initio SCF and MCPF levels. Also, density functional calculations have been carried out. The different approaches are evaluated. The 1 C-ECP has been compared to similar ECPS for nickel and copper. Our results indicate that this approach is valid also for cobalt. Different contributions to the cluster-adsorbate bonding energy are discussed. 0 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
