Hi Shanji,

I am using the CASTEP code from Cambridge University (UK) for this type 
of calculations (adsorption of small molecules on metal surfaces (Pt, 
Pd, Ag, etc)), but not for oxides (see, among others, (1) Physical 
Review Letters, V 90, N 21, 216102 (2003) and (2) Physical Review 
Letters, V 92, N13, 136104 (2004)).

Cheers,
Vmctor.
