An extensive theoretical investigation of the nonpolar (10$\bar{1}$0) and (11$\bar{2}$0) surfaces as well as the polar zinc terminated (0001)--Zn and oxygen terminated (000$\bar{1}$)--O surfaces of ZnO is presented. Particular attention is…

We report results of density-functional theory calculations on the structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of (1x1)-structures of Co on Cu(001) for coverages up to two monolayers. In particular we discuss the tendency towards phase…

The adsorption of hydrogen on the polar Zn-ended ZnO(0001) surface has been investigated by density functional {\it ab-initio} calculations. An on top H(1x1) ordered overlayer with genuine H-Zn chemical bonds is shown to be energetically…
This study combines surface-sensitive photoemission experiments with density functional theory (DFT) to give a microscopic description of H adsorption-induced modifications of the ZnO(10${\overline{1}}$0) surface electronic structure. We…
Tricobalt tetraoxide (Co3O4) is an important catalyst and Co3O4(110) is a frequently exposed surface in Co3O4 nanomaterials. We employed Density-functional theory with on-site Coulomb repulsion U term to study the atomic structures,…
We present a first-principles computational study of non-polar ZnO (10$\bar{1}$0) surfaces doped with indium. The calculations were performed using a model ZnO slab. The position of the In dopants was varied from deep bulk-like layers to…

Colloidal zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles are frequently used in the field of organic photovoltaics for the realization of solution-producible, electron-selective interfacial layers. Despite of the widespread use, there is a lack of detailed…

Understanding the structure of ZnO surface reconstructions and their resultant properties is crucial to the rational design of ZnO-containing devices ranging from optoelectronics to catalysts. Here, we are motivated by recent experimental…
We perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the effect of polar surfaces on the thermal transport in zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires. We find that the thermal conductivity in nanowires with free polar (0001) surfaces is much…
Our ab initio calculations of CO adsorption on several low and high miller index surfaces of Cu show that the adsorption energy increases as the coordination of the adsorption site decreases from 11 to 6, in qualitative agreement with…
