Calculation on surface energy and electronic properties of CoS2

Density functional theory was employed to investigate the (111), (200), (210), (211) and (220) surfaces of CoS2. The surface energies were calculated with a sulfur environment using first-principle-based thermodynamics. It is founded that surfaces with metal atoms at their outermost layer have highe...
