Abstract
Density-functional calculations were performed for the interaction between both the atomic and molecular oxygen and the Pd(111) surface. The results indicate that the most favorable adsorption site for an oxygen atom is a fcc site. Many highly activated adsorption paths and three with precursors were found. Two of the three experimentally observed precursor states were identified according to geometry, adsorption energy, and vibrational frequency.
