The great promise of ceria-supported gold clusters as catalysts of the future for important
industrial processes, such as the water gas shift reaction, has prompted a flurry of activity aimed
at understanding the molecular-level details of their operation. Much of this activity has focused
on experimental and theoretical studies of the structure of perfect and defective ceria surfaces,
with and without gold clusters of various sizes. The complicated electronic structure of ceria,
