Theoretical investigations of adsorption of 3d-metals from Ti to Cu on the α-Al2O3 (0001) surface are presented. The influence of adsorbates on the atomic and electronic structure of the aluminum oxide surface is considered. Values of the adsorption energy are calculated, and the equilibrium adatom positions on the surface are determined. A comparative analysis of the properties and mechanisms of...
