An empirical relationship is presented for predicting vibrational constailts for gas-phase heteronuclear diatomic molecules and atoms adsorbed on surfaces. Excellent agreement with experimental values is obtained. The method is used for predicting the unknown vibrational constants of AgS and CTe.
A general strategy for computing the vibrational frequencies of adsorbates on surfaces is presented. Rather than use numerical fits to the surface energy, we advocate diagonalizing a mass weighted energy second-derivative matrix. The computation of energy derivatives has several advantages: It facil
