The spectroscopic characteristics of systems with adsorbed d impurities on noble metal surfaces should depend on the number and geometric arrangement of the adsorbed atoms and also on their d band filling. Recent experiments using scanning tunneling microscopy have probed the electronic structure of all 3d transition metal impurities and also of Co dimers adsorbed on Au(111), providing a rich variety of results. In this contribution we correlate those experimental results with ab-initio calculations and try to establish necessary conditions for observing a Kondo resonance when using the single impurity Anderson model.

We report scanning tunneling microscopy observations of Ge deposited on the Si(111)-7x7 surface for a sequence of sub-monolayer coverages. We demonstrate that Ge atoms replace so-called Si adatoms. Initially, the replacements are random, but distinct
patterns emerge and evolve with increasing coverage, till small islands begin to form. Corner adatom sites in the faulted half unit cells are preferred. First-principles density functional calculations find that adatom substitution competes energetically with a high-coordination bridge site, but atoms occupying the latter sites are highly mobile. Thus, the observed structures are indeed more thermodynamically stable.
We present results of density-functional calculations on the magnetic properties of Cr, Mn, Fe and Co nano-clusters (1 to 9 atoms large) supported on Cu(001) and Cu(111). The inter-atomic exchange coupling is found to depend on competing mechanisms,
namely ferromagnetic double exchange and antiferromagnetic kinetic exchange. Hybridization-induced broadening of the resonances is shown to be important for the coupling strength. The cluster shape is found to weaken the coupling via a mechanism that comprises the different orientation of the atomic d-orbitals and the strength of nearest-neighbour hopping. Especially in Fe clusters, a correlation of binding energy and exchange coupling is also revealed.
We report on a theoretical study of adsorption of 4-Acetylbiphenyl molecule and its diffusion properties in the main directions of the Au(111) surface. Structural changes of the molecule, which are induced by adsorption lead to stronger conjugation o
f the $pi$-system. The molecule is adsorbed in a flat configuration on the surface with roughly the same binding energy along the [110] and [112] directions, in good agreement with experiments. Furthermore, the diffusion barriers imply an important directionality of the molecule-surface interactions. This is somewhat surprising because our calculations show that the prevailing interaction is the long-range molecule-surface van der Waals interaction. Despite of its weakness, the van der Waals interaction discriminates the preferential adsorption sites as well as imposes a molecular geometry that needs to be considered when rationalizing the diffusion barriers.
Correlated electron systems on a honeycomb lattice have emerged as a fertile playground to explore exotic electronic phenomena. Theoretical and experimental work has appeared to realize novel behavior, including quantum Hall effects and valleytronics
, mainly focusing on van der Waals compounds, such as graphene, chalcogenides, and halides. In this article, we review our theoretical study on perovskite transition-metal oxides (TMOs) as an alternative system to realize such exotic phenomena. We demonstrate that novel quantum Hall effects and related phenomena associated with the honeycomb structure could be artificially designed by such TMOs by growing their heterostructures along the [111] crystallographic axis. One of the important predictions is that such TMO heterostructures could support two-dimensional topological insulating states. The strong correlation effects inherent to TM $d$ electrons further enrich the behavior.
Core-level X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is often used to study the surfaces of heterogeneous copper-based catalysts, but the interpretation of measured spectra, in particular the assignment of peaks to adsorbed species, can be extremely cha
llenging. In this study we demonstrate that first principles calculations using the delta Self Consistent Field (delta-SCF) method can be used to guide the analysis of experimental core-level spectra of complex surfaces relevant to heterogeneous catalysis. Specifically, we calculate core-level binding energy shifts for a series of adsorbates on Cu(111) and show that the resulting C1s and O1s binding energy shifts for adsorbed CO, CO2, C2H4, HCOO, CH3O, H2O, OH and a surface oxide on Cu(111) are in good overall agreement with the experimental literature. In the few cases where the agreement is less good, the theoretical results may indicate the need to re-examine experimental peak assignments.
