The 5-parameter Morse potential （5-MP） of the interaction between H atom and Ag surfaces has been constructed. The adsorption and diffusion of H on Ag low-index surfaces are investigated with 5-MP in detail. The characteristics of critical points are obtained. The theoretical results show that H atom can only adsorb at the three-fold site on Ag（111 ）; the quasi-3-fold site and long-bridge site are stable adsorption sites on Ag（110） surface for the H atom, and at low coverage hydrogen predominantly occupies the quasi-3-fold site. This work predicts that the four-fold hollow site is the most stable adsorption state for H atom on Ag（100）. The results of this work are approved by the experimental and theoretical results.
The 5-parameter Morse potential （5-MP） of interaction between an adatom and metal surface cluster is put forward and performed on O-Pt stepped surface systems. We have primarily studied O/Pt（331）, O/Pt（221） and O/Pt（553） systems and drawn some conclusions from the calculated results in good agreement with experimental and theoretical information. The O atom adsorbs stably near the step, so the step is the active place in the reaction. There are two types of atomic states, β1 and β2, in the adsorbed systems, corresponding to the three-fold states and four-fold long-bridged state behind the step respectively. Moreover, the length of （Ⅲ） terrace affects weakly the properties of all critical points in these systems.
