Abstract
An atomistic interaction potential for adsorbate/surface systems is presented, based on the modified embedded-atom method (MEAM) and applied to CO on Pt. All parameters are determined using both density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, as well as the necessary experimental data. Whereas current DFT implementations suffer from problems in predicting the correct adsorption site of CO on Pt{111}, the current MEAM potential quantitatively describes the adsorption energies on the Pt {100} and {111} surfaces. With this potential, one is able to model, amongst others, diffusional properties and the CO induced lifting of the Pt{100}-hex surface reconstruction.
