Graphitic Nanofilms as Precursors to Wurtzite Films: Theory

Freeman, Colin L., Claeyssens, Frederik, Allan, Neil L., Harding, John H.·2006·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

Periodic ab initio density functional calculations on ultrathin films of AlN, BeO, GaN, SiC, ZnO, and ZnS demonstrate the stabilization of thicker films terminating with the polar {0001} surface via charge transfer and metallization of the surface layers. In contrast thinner films remove the dipole by adopting a graphiticlike structure in which the atoms are threefold coordinate. This structure is thermodynamically the most favorable for these thinner films. Implications for the crystal growth of wurtzite materials are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
