In this paper, we have studied theoretically the effects of gold adsorption on the Al (001) surface, using ab initio pseudo-potential method in the framework of the density functional theory. Having found the hollow sites at the Al (001) surface as the most preferred adsorption sites, we have investigated the effects of the Au adsorption with different coverages (Θ =0.11, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00 ML) on the geometry, adsorption energy, surface dipole moment, and the work function of the Al (001) surface. The results show that even though the work function of the Au substrate increases with the Au coverage, the surface dipole moment decreases with the changes in coverage from Θ =0.11 to 0.25 ML. We have explained this behavior by analyzing the electronic and ionic charge distributions. Furthermore, by studying the diffusion of Au atoms into the substrate, we have shown that at room temperature the diffusion rate of Au atoms into the substrate is negligible but increasing the temperature to about 200°C the Au atoms significantly diffuse into the substrate, in agreement with the experiment.

Abstract We propose a simple but unexplored model for the semiconductor band bending with the aim to obtain a relatively simple expression to calculate the energy spectrum for the confined levels and the analytical expressions for wave-functions. This model consists of a linear potential but it is bounded or trimmed in energy unlike the well known wedge potential model. We present exact solutions for this potential in the frame of the effective mass approximation and they are valid for electron or hole confinement potential. This model provides a more adequate physical scenario than the wedge potential since it takes into account the charge balance involved in the band bending potential. These results allow to treat confined potential problems as in the case of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a simplified way. We discuss the application of this approximation to the recombination time of electrons an holes and for the Franz-Keldysh effect.

We examine to what extent several recently discovered narrow resonances can be interpreted as conventional [Formula: see text] bound states describable using a potential model. In doing so, we use a semirelativistic approach, which includes both the v2/c2 and QCD one-loop corrections to the short distance potential and a long range linear potential together with its scalar and vector v2/c2 spin-dependent terms.
