How to calculate the adsorption energy from CASTEP? Any one has tutorial about it?
Just calculate the difference of the total energies
E(adsorbat/surface) - (E(adsorbat)+E(surface))
where you calculate the three energies with CASTEP or any other code.
I agree with Viorel Chihaia
Thanks Mr. Viorel Chihaia for valuable answer.
as indicated by Viorel Chihaia i would like just to add :
if you find an adsoption energy less than about 10 kcal/mol you have a physical adsorption character.
if you find an adsoption energy more than about 10 kcal/mol you have a chemical adsorption character.
I agree with Viorel Chihaia and Mohamed Sidoumou
