abstract = {Periodic density functional calculations are used to
illustrate how the combination of strain and ligand effects modify the
electronic and surface chemical properties of Ni, Pd, and Pt
monolayers supported on other transition metals. Strain and the ligand
effects are shown to change the width of the surface d band, which
subsequently moves up or down in energy to maintain a constant band
filling. Chemical properties such as the dissociative adsorption
energy of hydrogen are controlled by changes induced in the average
energy of the d band by modification of the d-band width.},
