Abstract
The atomic structure and charge redistribution of different terminations of BaZrO3 (011) surfaces have been studied using density functional simulations. We found that the O-terminated (011) flat surface had the smallest cleavage energy among (011) surfaces, but this value was still twice as large as for the formation of a pair of complimentary (001) surfaces. The density functional calculations allowed us to estimate the excess surface Gibb's free energy and to compare stability of different (011) surfaces as a function of chemical environment. In addition, we compared stability of BaZrO3 (011) surfaces with respect to BaZrO3 (001) surfaces. Within boundaries, where BaZrO3 does not decompose, only the Ba- and O-terminated (011) surfaces appeared to be stable. However, if (001) surfaces are also taken into consideration, the BaO-terminated (001) surface is the only stable surface among all considered (001) and (011) surfaces.
