Abstract
The adsorption of CN on Cu (111) has been investigated using density functional theory calculations based on plane-wave expansion and pseudo-potential treatment. Calculations within the generalized gradient approximation predicted a preference for CN in the fcc C -down site. No stationary points corresponding to pure parallel mode were found. But the tilted mode was found to be achievable. The calculated vibrational frequencies of CN were used to correctly discriminate between the adsorption sites.
