Composition and structure of the alpha-AlF(sub 3)(0001) surface

Article Abstract:

The art surface thermodynamics calculations are employed based on hybrid-exchange density functional theory to predict the composition and structure of the basal surface of alpha-AlF(sub 3). Four possible terminations of the alpha-AlF(sub 3)(001) surface are examined and demonstrated to show that a layer containing two fluorine atoms per cell at all realistic fluorine partial pressures terminates the surface.

Aluminum chloride as a solid is not a strong Lewis acid

Article Abstract:

Aluminum chloride is used extensively as Lewis acid catalyst in a variety of industrial processes, including Friedel-Crafts and Ci/F exchange reactions. Experimental and computational methods is used to investigate the surface structure and catalytic propertied of solid AlCl3.

An ab initio study of hydrogen absorption on ZnO(101[super -]0)

Article Abstract:

The interaction of hydrogen with the stoichiometric ZnO(101[super -]0) surface is studied using ab initio, all-electron total energy calculations. Details of the geometric and electronic structure of the surface are determined.
