abstract = {Sodium atoms and clusters (Nless than or equal to5) on
graphite (0001) are studied using density functional theory,
pseudopotentials and periodic boundary conditions. A single
Na atom is observed to bind at a hollow site 2.45 Angstrom
above the surface with an adsorption energy of 0.51 eV. The
small diffusion barrier of 0.06 eV indicates a flat
potential energy surface. Increased Na coverage results in a
weak adsorbate-substrate interaction, which is evident in
the larger separation from the surface in the cases of Na-3,
Na-4, Na-5, and the (2x2) Na overlayer. The binding is weak
for Na-2, which has a full valence electron shell. The
presence of substrate modifies the structures of Na-3, Na-4,
and Na-5 significantly, and both Na-4 and Na-5 are distorted
from planarity. The calculated formation energies suggest
that clustering of atoms is energetically favorable, and
that the open shell clusters (e.g., Na-3 and Na-5) can be
more abundant on graphite than in the gas phase. Analysis of
the lateral charge density distributions of Na and Na-3
shows a charge transfer of similar to0.5 electrons in both
cases.},
