报告内容: In this talk, the speaker will present their recent work in studying surface ligand passivation, and the possible surface morphology changes due to ligand passivation. The first system is PbS quantum dot. The atomistic structure of surface PbS has been studied, and the speaker will show how ab initio calculation can be used to reveal the surface atomic structure, and the possible surface defect states of such systems. Another problem is surface passivation of metallic Pt nanocrystal. The ab initio calculation explain the mechanism of nanocrystal growth. It turns out that the growth is determined by kinetic process, instead of surface energy. The third example is CO coverage of Pt and Cu surface. It is found that such molecule coverage will induce morphology changes, thus will have major influence to their catalytic properties. Lastly, the speaker will show how GPU calculations can be used to accelerate all the above calculations.
