Model, First-Principle Calculation of Ammonia Dissociation on Si(100) Surface. Importance of Proton Tunneling

Abstract: The dissociation of an ammonia molecule on a cluster of Si atoms simulating the 100 silicon crystal structure with two Si dimers has been investigated by means of the DFT and an approximate instanton methods. The model corresponds to the low coverage limit of the surface. Absolute rate con...
