Stabilization mechanism for the polar ZnO(0001̄)-O surface
When wurtzite ZnO is sliced perpendicular to the (0001) axis, two different polar surfaces, the (0001)-Zn and (0001̄)-O terminated surfaces, are formed. In a simple ionic picture, both surfaces are electrostatically unstable due to a diverging electrostatic energy. Although the ionic picture is an oversimplification, the surfaces adopt a modified surface structure to compensate for the polarity....
متن کاملDynamic equilibrium mechanism for surface nanobubble stabilization.
Recent experiments have convincingly demonstrated the existence of surface nanobubbles on submerged hydrophobic surfaces. However, classical theory dictates that small gaseous bubbles quickly dissolve because their large Laplace pressure causes a diffusive outflux of gas. Here we suggest that the bubbles are stabilized by a continuous influx of gas near the contact line, due to the gas attracti...
متن کاملA Negative Feedback Mechanism for the Long - Term Stabilization of Earth ' S Surface Temperature
We suggest that the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is buffered, over geological time scales, by a negative feedback mechanism in which the rate of weathering of silicate minerals (followed by deposition of carbonate minerals) depends on surface temperature, and surface temperature, in turn, depends on carbon dioxide partial pressure through the greenhouse effect. Although ...
متن کاملJahn-Teller stabilization of a "polar" metal oxide surface: Fe3O4(001).
Using ab initio thermodynamics we compile a phase diagram for the surface of Fe3O4(001) as a function of temperature and oxygen pressures. A hitherto ignored polar termination with octahedral iron and oxygen forming a wavelike structure along the [110] direction is identified as the lowest energy configuration over a broad range of oxygen gas-phase conditions. This novel geometry is confirmed v...
متن کاملBipartite Polar Classification for Surface Reconstruction
In this paper, we propose bipartite polar classification to augment an input unorganized point set P with two disjoint groups of points distributed around the ambient space of P to assist the task of surface reconstruction. The goal of bipartite polar classification is to obtain a space partitioning of P by assigning pairs of Voronoi poles into two mutually invisible sets lying in the opposite ...
