clusters: A first-principles study

Mi Hong^a), Wei Shi-Hao†^a), Duan Xiang-Mei^b), Pan Xiao-Yin^b)

The potential energy surfaces for reduction of N₂O by CO promoted by different clusters. The chemical formulas of the stable intermediates are shown at the bottom. The grey, blue, and red spheres represent carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms, respectively. The cycles with “cat” denote the corresponding catalysts. The energy of the entrance is shifted to zero.
