The surface structure of the SrTiO$_3$(110) polar surface is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Monophased reconstructions in (5$\times$1), (4$\times$1), (2$\times$8), and (6$\times$8) are…
Antiphase domain boundaries (APDBs) in the ($n \times 1$)($n=4,5$) reconstructions of the SrTiO$_3$(110) surface were studied with scanning tunneling microscopy, x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT)…
First-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) and the pseudopotential method have been used to study the stoichiometric and reduced SnO2 (110) surface. The ionic relaxations are found to be moderate for both the…
Large scale first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) employing two different methods (atomic orbitals and plane wave basis sets) were used to study the energetics, geometry, the electronic charge redistribution…
The stability of possible termination structures for the (010) surface of forsterite, $ Mg_2SiO_4 $, is studied using a density functional theory (DFT) based thermodynamic approach. The DFT calculations are used to estimate the surface…
Using density-functional theory (DFT) we calculate the Gibbs free energy to determine the lowest-energy structure of a RuO_2(110) surface in thermodynamic equilibrium with an oxygen-rich environment. The traditionally assumed stoichiometric…
We use density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate structural models consisting of anatase TiO2(101) slabs covered by reduced overlayers formed by (101) crystallographic shear planes (CSPs). Ab initio thermodynamics supports…
We analyze the basic structural units of simple reconstructions of the (111) surface of SrTiO3 using density functional calculations. The prime focus is to answer three questions: what is the most appropriate functional to use; how accurate…
Reversible topotactic transitions between oxygen-vacancy-ordered structures in transition metal oxides provide a promising strategy for active manipulation of material properties. While transformations between various oxygen-deficient…
We characterized CO2 adsorption and diffusion on the missing row reconstructed Cu(100)-O surface using a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations with dispersion. We deposited CO2…
Knowledge of the atomic geometry of a surface is a prerequisite for any detailed understanding of the surface's electronic structure and chemical properties. Previous studies have convincingly demonstrated that density functional theory…
We perform full-potential screened-hybrid density-functional theory (DFT) calculations to compare the thermodynamic stability of neutral and charged states of the surface oxygen vacancy at the rutile TiO$_2$(110) surface. Solid-state…
Contradictory theoretical results for oxygen vacancies in SrTiO$_3$ (STO) were often related to the peculiar properties of STO, which is a $d^0$ transition metal oxide with mixed ionic-covalent bonding. Here, we apply, for the first time,…
Motivated by recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) observations of a highly metallic two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the (001) vacuum-cleaved surface of SrTiO3 and the subsequent discussion on the possible role of…
Atomic and electronic structures of TiO_2(110) surface with possible adsorptional, substitutional and interstitial Au or Pt elemental impurities at full and one-sixth monolayer concentrations were investigated by density functional theory…
Controlling the surface structure on the atomic scale is a major difficulty for most transition metal oxides; this is especially true for the ternary perovskites. The influence of surface stoichiometry on the atomic structure of the…
Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations show that the reversible Sn/Ge(111) $\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3} \leftrightarrow 3\times3$ phase transition can be described in terms of a surface soft phonon. The isovalent Sn/Si(111) case does not…
The electronic structure of SrTiO3(001) surfaces was studied using scanning tunneling spectroscopy and density-functional theory. With high dynamic range measurements, an in-gap transition level was observed on SrO-terminated surfaces, at…
Physically reasonable electronic structures of reconstructed rutile TiO_2(110)-(1x2) surfaces were studied using density functional theory (DFT) supplemented with Hubbard U on-site Coulomb repulsion acting on the d electrons, so called as…
