Ab initio Calculations for SrTiO_3 (100) Surface Structure

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

Results of detailed calculations for SrTiO_3 (100) surface relaxation and the electronic structure for the two different terminations (SrO and TiO_2) are discussed. These are based on ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) method with electron correlation corrections and Density Functional Theory (DFT) with different exchange-correlation functionals, including hybrid (B3PW, B3LYP) exchange techniques. Results are compared with previous ab initio plane wave LDA calculations. All methods agree well on both surface energies and on atomic displacements. Considerable increase of Ti[Single Bond]O chemical bond covalency nearby the surface is predicted, along with a gap reduction, especially for the TiO_2 termination.
