First-Principles Study of Properties of Alpha Uranium Crystal and Seven Alpha Uranium Surfaces

First-principles calculation based on the GGA methods has been applied to the prediction of the properties of bulk α-uranium and seven α-uranium surfaces. The number of layers in the slab has great effects on the simulated surface properties. The predicted surface properties are trustworthy when the...
