Strain-driven transitions between surface reconstructions
Strain can greatly modify the state of a crystal surface, and cause reconstruction and deconstruction phase transitions even at constant temperature. We carried out test calculations of surface free energy differences that illustrate the phenomenon, and parallel simulations that demonstrate directly how the prototype reconstruction of Au(111) should change under bending-induced strain. That sho...

متن کاملSurface reconstructions of TiO2(110) driven by suboxides.
Scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory are used to develop a new structural model for surface reconstructions driven by Ti interstitials on TiO2(110). Ti interstitials form the edge- or face-sharing octahedra that serve as building blocks for (1 x 1) reconstruction. Thus, contrary to conventional wisdom, the 1 x 1 periodicity is insufficient to establish the correct surface...
متن کاملReversible switching between superhydrophobic states on a hierarchically structured surface.
Nature offers exciting examples for functional wetting properties based on superhydrophobicity, such as the self-cleaning surfaces on plant leaves and trapped air on immersed insect surfaces allowing underwater breathing. They inspire biomimetic approaches in science and technology. Superhydrophobicity relies on the Cassie wetting state where air is trapped within the surface topography. Pressu...
متن کاملSurface reconstructions on the ( 100 ) CoSi 2 surface
We have investigated the relative stability of a number of p(1×1), c(2×2) and p(2×2) surface reconstructions on the (100) 2 surface as deposited on Si(100). The relative stability of these reconstructions as a function of whether the growth conditions are either Si rich or Co rich is also investigated. We show that the most stable surface under all growth conditions is a c(2×2) reconstructed Si...
