Ab-initio studies of SrTiO3(001) surface reconstructions

A number of SrTiO3(001) surface reconstructions have been studied using Plato, Package for Linear Combinations of Atomic Type Orbitals, a first principles density functional theory approach. Energy calculations have been performed for each surface reconstruction, and phase diagrams produced for a ra...

Description
Summary:A number of SrTiO3(001) surface reconstructions have been studied using Plato, Package for Linear Combinations of Atomic Type Orbitals, a first principles density functional theory approach. Energy calculations have been performed for each surface reconstruction, and phase diagrams produced for a range of temperatures and pressures.
