Abstract

A study on ab initio modeling of metal adhesion to ceramics with surface defects is presented. It is demonstrated that the point surface defects on MgO(001) surface increase markedly the adhesion energy and cause redistribution of the electron density across the interface. The results for electron and hole centers in the Ag atom adhesion at different surface coverages are analyzed.
