摘要：

The electronic properties of Li-doped MgO(001) surfaces with and without O vacancies are investigated using density-functional theory within the full-potential linearized-augmented plane-wave approach. The calculated formation energy of an O vacancy on the Li-doped MgO(001) surface is drastically reduced to 6.55 eV from that on the MgO(001) clean surface (9.5 eV). This explains the experimental observation that Li impurity promotes the production of O vacancies. The Li-doped O-deficient MgO(001) surface is rich in gap states around the Fermi level, which should strongly enhance its chemical activity.
