Select File | Save Project, then Window | Close All from Select Build | Symmetry | Conventional Cell from the menu bar. In the Project Explorer, open Pd.xsd located in the Pd CASTEP Proceed with building the Pd(110) surface in step 4. When the job has finished, you must convert the primitive cell result back to a conventional cell representation in order to You should proceed to the next section and build the CO moleculeīut return here when the calculation is complete to display the Lattice Parameters. A message dialog about conversion to the primitive cell is displayed.

To maintain consistency across the calculations that you are going to perform, you should make some changes on the Electronic tab. This opens the CASTEP Calculation dialog.Ĭell optimization of crystals requires more accurate calculations than those performed with default settings.

You can change the display style to ball and stick. Navigate to Structures/metals/pure-metals and import In the Project Explorer, right-click on the Pd bulk folder and select The crystal structure of Pd is included in the structure library provided with Materials Studio.

The (110) cleave plane is highlighted in blue. Pd bulk and a top view on the Pd(110) surface. You will calculate the energy contribution of this tilting to the chemisorption energy by considering At 1 ML coverage the CO molecules repelĮach other preventing them from aligning exactly perpendicular to the surface. You will focus on one adsorption site, the short bridge site, as it is known to be energetically preferred at fixed coverage. How many molecules will stick to the surface?.
