TLDR
In this article, a solution of the Anderson model for chemisorption including correlation effects is presented, which becomes exact in three limiting cases (largeU, smallU i.e., Hartree-Fock and the so-called symmetric strong coupling limit) of the intra atomic Coulomb repulsionU and the hopping termV.
Abstract
A solution of the Anderson model for chemisorption including correlation effects is presented. The solution becomes exact in three limiting cases (largeU, smallU i.e. Hartree-Fock and the so-called symmetric strong coupling limit) of the intra atomic Coulomb repulsionU and the hopping termV. Excellent agreement of our approximation with Schrieffer's exact numerical results for the binding energy of a small model system is found. Our results for the binding energy and the charge of the adsorbate show a significant improvement over the Hartree-Fock approximation. The single particle spectral density of the H-F approximation turns out to be even qualitatively wrong in the largeU strong coupling limit.

Theory of atomic chemisorption on simple metals

TL;DR: In this article, the atom-jellium model of chemisorption was used to study the properties of an atom bonded to the surface of a simple metal, including the electron-density distribution, the state density, the dipole moment, and the heat of adsorption.

Theory of indirect interaction between chemisorbed atoms

TL;DR: In this paper, the theory of two chemisorbed atoms has been hindered by the very low symmetry of the problem, and a variety of elaborate many-body techniques have been successfully applied to these systems; there are several excellent recent reviews.

Correlation effects on core level spectra of adsorbates

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectrum of core levels in adsorbates is calculated for a model which allows the transfer of screening charge to the adsorbate, and spin degeneracy and the Coulomb interaction of the valence electrons are included.

Chemisorption on Metals

TL;DR: This chapter attempts to give a general picture of the current state of knowledge of chemisorption on metal surfaces, and much of it is devoted to a description and discussion of the principal methods of investigation.

Localized Magnetic States in Metals

TL;DR: In this article, the conditions necessary in metals for the presence or absence of localized moments on solute ions containing inner shell electrons are analyzed, and a self-consistent Hartree-Fock treatment is applied to show that there is a sharp transition between the magnetic state and the nonmagnetic state, depending on the density of states of free electrons, the $s\ensuremath{-}d$ admixture matrix elements, and the Coulomb correlation integral in the $d$ shell.

Electron Correlations in Narrow Energy Bands. III. An Improved Solution

TL;DR: In this article, a more accurate solution of the model discussed in paper I is obtained, which predicts a finite lifetime for the pseudo-particles and also the Mott insulator-conductor transition.

Self-Consistent Model of Hydrogen Chemisorption

TL;DR: In this paper, the Anderson Hamiltonian in Hartree-Fock approximation was used for the chemisorption of a hydrogen atom on a transition-metal surface, which includes the interelectronic interaction within the $1s$ orbital.

The electron density in a metal near a chemisorbed atom or molecule

T B Grimley
TL;DR: In this paper, the electron density in a metal will be disturbed when an atom or molecule is chemisorbed using a simple model, which describes the process as a sharing of the electrons of the system between the adsorbate and the metal.
