As a much-enriched supplement to the previous review paper entitled the “Effective work
functions for ionic and electronic emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces”[Prog …

Work function (WF) of a material is not only an intrinsic characteristic of bulk but also a
surface property. The measurement and control of WF have been of great concern in many …

The surface energy is a fundamental property of the different facets of a crystal that is crucial
to the understanding of various phenomena like surface segregation, roughening, catalytic …

MXenes are a set of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides that offer many
potential applications in energy storage and electronic devices. As an important parameter …

We have used density functional theory to establish a database of surface energies for low
index surfaces of 60 metals in the periodic table. The data may be used as a consistent …

We present a database of 24× 24 surface segregation energies of single transition metal
impurities in transition-metal hosts obtained by a Green's-function linear-muffin-tin-orbitals …

We have computed the surface energies, work functions, and interlayer surface relaxations
of clean (111),(100), and (110) surfaces of Al, Cu, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Pt, and Au. We interpret …

This report deals with the mechanism behind the unusual behavior of nanostructures in
mechanical strength, thermal stability, acoustics (lattice dynamics), photonics, electronics …

A new embedded-atom method (EAM) potential has been constructed for Ag by fitting to
experimental and first-principles data. The potential accurately reproduces the lattice …
