✦ Synopsis

We have investigated the interaction of O~-with Mg 2+ ions at terraces, edges and comers and with the Fs centers of the MgO (100) surface by means of ab initio cluster model wavefunctions. While O 2 is unbound or weakly bound at surface cations, O~-is electrostatically bound with adsorption energies from 2 to 4 eV depending on the local coordination. 02 interacts with the electrons trapped at the F s centers to form 02 and Fs +. In a similar way, 02 becomes 02 on F + centers with the formation of F~ ÷ -02 surface complexes. The high cost for the ionization of the F~ centers is compensated by the electrostatic attraction between O~-and the charged vacancies. The effect of the local electric field on the g-tensor is discussed.

## Abstract The structure of Ag~__N__~ clusters (__N__=1–4, 6, 8, 10), both in the gas phase and grown on the MgO(1 0 0) surface containing F~s~‐defects, has been investigated by a density functional basin‐hopping (DF‐BH) approach.

We investigated the dependence of the electrostatic potential on the size and the shape of various cluster models of the MgO(100) surface. Both Mg2+ and 0'-adsorption sites have been considered. The clusters were embedded in a large array of point charges to provide a representation of the Madelung
