摘要
First-principles calculations based on density-functional theory and the pseudopotential method have been used to investigate the influence of gradient corrections to the standard local-density-approximation technique on the equilibrium structure and energetics of rutile TiO2 and SnO2 perfect crystals and their (110) surfaces. We find that gradient corrections increase the calculated lattice parameters by roughly 3%, as has been found for other types of material. Gradient corrections give only very minor changes to the equilibrium surface structure, but reduce the surface energies by about 30%.
