Abstract While the ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) approach to gas-surface interaction has been instrumental in exploring important issues such as energy transfer and reactivity, it is only amenable to short-time events and a limited number of trajectories because of the on-the-fly nature of the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Here, we report a high-dimensional global reactive potential energy surface (PES) constructed with high fidelity from judiciously placed DFT points, using a machine learning method; and it is orders-of-magnitude more efficient than AIMD in dynamical calculations and can be employed in various simulations without performing additional electronic structure calculations. Importantly, the surface atoms are included in such a PES, which provides a unique platform for studying energy transfer and scattering/reaction of the impinging molecule on the solid surface on an equal footing.

INTRODUCTION Heterogeneous catalytic processes are necessarily initiated by molecule-surface

collisions, which can lead to chemical bond rupture and/or formation, often accompanied by energy transfer.1 An in-depth understanding of the dynamics of these gas-surface processes at the atomic level is therefore highly desirable. Experimentally, the scattering and reactive processes have been investigated using laser and molecular beam techniques on clean crystalline surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum. These studies have succeeded in probing quantum state-resolved dynamics of molecule-surface encounters and provided stringent tests for theory.2-5 Theoretically,

the

dynamics

of

molecular

scattering

and

dissociative

chemisorption have been studied using quantum and classical models, both requiring information about electronic energies. To this end, the electronic Schrödinger equation is solved at given nuclear configurations within the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation using a first-principles method, such as density functional theory (DFT).6 Dynamical calculations can be performed with a direct approach, which computes the energy and forces acting on the nuclei on the fly using DFT. This so-called Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics (AIMD) approach7 is quite versatile in handling both reaction and energy exchange between the impinging molecule and the surface. Consequently, there has recently been an increasing interest in AIMD simulations of molecular scattering and dissociation on metal surfaces, some of which have successfully reproduced experimental sticking coefficients within chemical

The Au, Cl, and H atoms are shown in yellow, green, and white, respectively. Fig. 2 (a) Transition-state geometry with upper two metal layers optimized with DFT. The displacements of Au atoms surrounding the HCl molecule (in Å) are marked in the figure.

Fig. 1 (a) The six-dimensional dynamical coordinate system for HCl/Au(111). (b-d) two-dimensional cuts of the PES with the molecular center and orientation fixed at a top (T) site and θ=47°, ϕ=30° (b), bridge (B) site and θ=65°, ϕ=30° (c), and hcp (H) site and θ=47°, ϕ=90° (d), respectively, as a function of the HCl bond length (r) and the vertical distance of the HCl molecule (Z) above the frozen surface. The fcc (F) site shows roughly the same PES contour as the hcp site, so not displayed. The contours from the PES (solid lines) and DFT (dashed lines) have an interval of 0.1 eV. The Au, Cl, and H atoms are shown in yellow, green, and white, respectively. 527x506mm (150 x 150 DPI)

Fig. 2 (a) Transition-state geometry with upper two metal layers optimized with DFT. The displacements of Au atoms surrounding the HCl molecule (in Å) are marked in the figure. (b) The dependence of the barrier height (Eb) on the three-dimensional displacements (∆X, ∆Y, ∆Z) of surface atoms. ∆X and ∆Y are taken with respect to Au5 only, while ∆Z is taken on Au1, Au2, and Au5 synchronously. The barrier heights obtained from the PES (solid symbols) are compared with these calculated by DFT at the same geometries (open symbols). 254x305mm (150 x 150 DPI)

Fig. 3 (a) Comparison of initial dissociation sticking probabilities (S0) of DCl obtained from AIMD12 (red circles) and the PES (black squares). (b) Comparison of experimental46 and calculated S0 of HCl at various nozzle temperatures and a fixed surface temperature of 170 K. Previous QD51 and AIMD13 results are also shown for comparison. 97x153mm (150 x 150 DPI)
