INCAR

 ENMAX = 400
    
general:
  SYSTEM = clean nickel (111) surface
  ISTART = 0
  ICHARG = 2
  ISMEAR = 2 ; SIGMA = 0.2
  ALGO = Fast
  EDIFF = 1E-6
    
special:
  LVHAR = .TRUE.
#  LVTOT = .TRUE.

Run a single point calculation for the Ni(111) clean surface at a higher cutoff (400eV), which is needed to compute the adsorption energy.
Potentials for O and C require an energy cut-off of 400eV:
- Previous calculation for clean cannot be used as reference.
- Recalculate with same energy cut-off.

Calculation

Adsorption energies

Change of cut-off lowers total energy:
- -25.732 eV (270 eV); -25.737 eV (400 eV).
- Becomes more important for larger cells.

The adsorption energy is calculated in the following way:
- $E_{\mathrm{ads}} = E_{\mathrm{total}} - E_{\mathrm{clean}} - E_{\mathrm{CO}}$ .
- $E_{\mathrm{ads}} = -40.829 + 25.737 + 14.835 = -0.257$ eV.

Work function

We use this run also to calculate the work-function of Ni(111).

Use p4vasp to show the planar average of the potential:

Vacuum potential $E^{\mathrm{vac}} = 5.45$ eV.
Fermi level $\epsilon_{\mathrm{F}} = 0.224$ eV. (from OUTCAR file).
Work function $\Phi = E^{\mathrm{vac}} - \epsilon_{\mathrm{F}} = 5.23$ eV.
