Sažetak

An Extended Ruckel (E. H.) calculation was performed for the
energy of Fex clusters (with x = 9, 10, 13, 15, 18) that are used to
model the 111, 100, 110 surface planes of an iron single-crystal.
Interaction energies of atomic and molecular nitrogen with each
cluster were calculated for different geometrical configurations of
the system. From this data thermodynamic and kinetic considerations
allowed the following order of reactivity of the different
surfaces, in ammonia synthesis, to be estabilished: 111 > 100 > 110.
Comparison with experimental results is more than satisfactory.
