TLDR
In this paper, density functional calculations were done to examine the interface between graphene and a Pt13 or Au13 cluster, and the CO and H chemisorption energies on the metal clusters on graphene were calculated to clarify supportdependent reactivity.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple

TL;DR: A simple derivation of a simple GGA is presented, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants, and only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked.

Soft self-consistent pseudopotentials in a generalized eigenvalue formalism.

TL;DR: Novel features are that the pseudopotential itself becomes charge-state dependent, the usual norm-conservation constraint does not apply, and a generalized eigenproblem is introduced.

Catalytic CO oxidation by a gold nanoparticle: A density functional study

TL;DR: Self-consistent density functional calculations are presented showing that even an isolated Au10 cluster should be able to catalyze the CO oxidation reaction even below room temperature, and suggest that the extraordinary reactivity can be traced back to special reaction geometries available at small particles in combination with an enhanced ability of low coordinated gold atoms to interact with molecules from the surroundings.
