abstract = {Soft-landed adsorption of Au-16 on bilayered graphene is
investigated using density functional theory. The
orientation of the Au-16 cluster and number of neighboring
surface vacancies affect the overall structural and
electronic properties of the cluster. The results of the
PBE, vdW-DF, and vdW-DF2 exchange-correlation functionals
are compared for the cluster-substrate interaction for
systems with and without defects. In the presence of defects
size two and greater, an Au atom adsorbs into the topmost
graphene layer; this strongly influences the binding energy
(>3 eV), while inducing substantial bending in the carbon
plane and altering electronic properties of the system.
Though the T-d-symmetry and electronegative properties of
the Au-16 structure change in the presence of greater
neighboring defects, elements of the cagelike starting
structure remain throughout. The electron localization
function shows that the in-plane Au-C bonds are of
delocalized (metallic) nature and there is a local charge
transfer to the coordinating Au. However, the net charge
transfer between adsorbate and substrate is considerable
only for the defect-free case (0.8e to Au-16). Finally, the
binding of O-2 molecules to the adsorbed Au-16 cluster is
used to probe the potential catalytic activity of graphite
and carbon nanotube systems, and in one case (for defect
size two) the adsorbed O-2 switches on the catalytically
active superoxo-state.},
