We study the CO chemisorption on epitaxial Pd and Pt monolayers grown on W (110), by using a simple tight-binding self-consistent recursion method model. The tr donation, "rr back-donation and the adsorption energy are reduced by the substrate presence. For the atop site above Pd/W (110), however, t

✦ Synopsis
We study the chemisorption of hydrogen on epitaxial and incommensurate Pd overlayers deposited on Ta and W ( 1 lo), respectively, within a self-consistent tight-binding recursion-scheme model. The incommensurate films are described by a meanfield Hamiltonian. On the epitaxial layer the H-Pd bonding is strongly reduced but for the incommensurate structure Hz molecule dissociation is likely, in agreement with experiment. Trends in the initial-state contribution to core-level shifts and their correlation with other system properties are discussed.

By using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method, the structural and electronic properties of Pd/W(001) and Pd/W(110) are investigated. Through force calculations, the Pd adlayer is found to remove the surface relaxation almost completely for the W(110) substrate but only partially
