Two-component relativistic density functional theory modeling of the adsorption of element 114(eka-lead) on gold

Abstract

A cluster modeling of the interaction of an eka-Pb atom with the stable Au(111) surface using accurate small-core relativistic pseudopotentials and two-component non-collinear DFT is reported. The results obtained with two different types of exchange–correlation functionals (generalized-gradient and hybrid) are generally consistent and give rise to E114/Au(111) adsorption energy estimates within the range 0.4–0.5 eV. Substantial differences between the E114–Au and Pb–Au interactions are further corroborated.
