The surface chemistry associated with the synthesis of energetic nanolaminates controls the formation of the critical interfacial layers that dominate the performances of nanothermites. For instance, the interaction of Al with CuO films or CuO with Al films needs to be understood to optimize Al/CuO nanolaminates. To that end, the chemical mechanisms occurring during early stages of molecular CuO adsorption onto crystalline Al(111) surfaces are investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, leading to the systematic determination of their reaction enthalpies and associated activation energies.

During the course of atomic transport in a host material, impurity atoms need to surmount an energy barrier driven by thermodynamic bias or at ultralow temperatures by quantum tunneling. In the present article, we demonstrate using atomistic simulations that at ultralow temperature, transient interlayer atomic transport is also possible without tunneling when the Pt/Al(111) impurity/host system self-organizes itself spontaneously into an intermixed configuration. No such extremely fast athermal concerted process has been reported before at ultralow temperatures.
