摘 要：Adsorption of single gold （Au） atom at three kinds of sites （hollow, bridge and top） on the hydroxylated β-cristobalite SiO2 （1 1 1） surface was studied using the first-principles calculations with general gradient approximation （GGA）. The results of adsorption energies and density of electronic states （DOS） suggest that the hollow and bridge sites have the basically equal capability of binding Au, while the ability of the Top site is weaker. Two new energy levels emerge after the adsorption at all sites; in DOS of the Hollow configuration, one locates at -0.15 eV, composed of Au 5d and O 2p electronic states, another just crosses through the Fermi level, consisting of Au 6s, H 1s and O 2p. In addition, Mulliken population analyses indicate that electron transfer takes place between the Au atom and the surface H and O atoms in the Hollow and Bridge configurations, which can be used to interpret the adsorption of Au onto the positions. However, neither H nor O chemically bonds with Au atom.
