dc.description.abstract | With increasing demand for hydrogen economy driven world, the fundamental research of hydrogen-metal interactions has gained momentum. In this work we report a systematic theoretical study of the stability of different surfaces of intermetallic ZrCo that is a possible candidate as a getter bed for tritium. Our first principles ab initio thermodynamic calculations predict that amongst the (100), (110) and (111) surfaces, the stoichiometric (110) surface is the most stable one over a wide range of Co chemical potential. We have also studied adsorption, dissociation and diffusion of hydrogen on the (110) surface. On the basis of total energy, it is seen that adsorption of molecular hydrogen (H2) on the surface is much weaker than atomic hydrogen. The H2 decomposition on ZrCo surface can easily take place and the dissociation barrier is calculated to be 0.70 eV. The strength of binding of H atom on the surface is more or less independent of surface coverage till 1.0 ML of H. The thermodynamic stability of atomic H adsorbed on the surface, in subsurface and bulk decreases from surface to bulk to subsurface. Though the H atoms are mobile on the surface, their diffusion to the subsurface involves a barrier of about 0.79 eV. | en_US |
