A comparative study of the unreacted and reacted uniaxially strained Pt(111) and the layered (111)-Pt/Ni/Pt3Ni and (111)-Pt/Ni/PtNi3 surfaces has been performed using density functional theory (DFT). An in-depth study of the unreacted surfaces has been performed to evaluate the importance of geometric, magnetic and ligand effects in determining the reactivity of these different Pt surfaces. An analysis of the binding energies of oxygen and hydrogen over the high-symmetry binding positions of all surfaces has been performed. The study has shown that O and H tend to bind more strongly to the (111)-Pt/Ni/Pt3Ni surface and less strongly to the (111)-Pt/Ni/PtNi3 surface compared to binding on the equivalently strained Pt(111) surfaces. Changes in the surface magnetisation of the surfaces overlaying the ferromagnetic alloys during adsorption are discussed, as well as the behaviour of the d-band centre across all surfaces, to evaluate the potential mechanisms for these differences in binding. An accompanying comparison of the accessible density functionals has been included to estimate the error in the computational binding energies.

Binding energies of Λ, Λc, and Λb baryons in [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] are estimated taking into account the corrections due to the centre-of-mass motion and also the Coulomb correction in [Formula: see text]. Both these corrections turn out to be quite important. Just bound states for [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] are obtained for Λc–N and Λb–N interactions, which are weaker than the Λ–N interaction by nearly 55% and 30%, respectively.
