[SIESTA-L] surface energy with h passivation

2008-11-17 Thread Chol-Jun Yu
Dear all, could anyone teach me how to calculate the surface energy of Si, or Ge surface, of which one side is passivated by hydrogen? As you know, in this case, we have two surfaces, Si surface and H surface, which makes me confusing to calculate the surface energy. Any comments are

Hi Jafar, I've done a convergence study for a SiC surface and Ni[100], but I guess the general features will be the same, quite independently of the material. The nice thing about siesta is that vacuum layers come virtually for free, as opposed to plane-waves calculation. So, maybe the first

To find the surface energy you need to do a series of calculations with different amount of layers. Surface energy will converge to some value for bigger amount of layers. E_slab_of_n_layers = {E(n) - n [E(n) - E(n-1)]} / 2Surface_areas See as example

Hello Siesta Users I want to know how we can we calculate the surface energy. I am doing calculations on zinc blende PtN. I have Pt terminated and N terminated surfaces, how I will know that which surface is energetically favorable.The number of layers are different in each case. Can any
