Hidden Beneath the Surface: Origin of the Observed Enantioselective Adsorption on PdGa(111).

We unravel the origin of the recently observed striking enantioselectivity of the PdGa(l1l) surface with respect to the adsorption of a small organic molecule, 9- ethynylphenanthrene, using first-principles calculations. It turns out that the key ingredient to understand the experimental evidence is...
