Dear users,<br><br>I am working on a surface catalyzed reaction problem in which I have to analyze the first elementary step of adsorption.<br>I am performing a projected density of states (PDOS) analysis for a reactant molecule adsorbing on a metal surface.<br>
Could some one please tell me if the Lowdin charge populations that arise out of a PDOS analaysis are reliable ?<br>To
what extent can they be used to draw inferences on charge donation and
acceptance patterns between metal substrate and reactant molecule.<br>
<br>Thanks in advance and Good luck for your work !<br><br>Best regards,<br><br><font color="#888888">Siva Rama Krishna J<br>Member of Technical staff<br>Computational Research Laboratories Limited<br>India</font><br>
