摘要: Linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) calculations are performed for periodic (001) and (111) slabs of BaTiO$_3$ to understand the effects surfaces on ferroelectric BaTiO$_3$. The slab is found be much less stable than slab. average surface energies respectively 3700 erg/cm$^2$ 1600 erg/cm$^2$. depolarization field sufficiently large in ideal unrelaxated completely inhibit instability. No mid-gap states evident, but there upper gap unrelaxed at top valence band. dangling Ti bonds self-heal making Ti-O very reactive an excellent epitaxial substrate. charge density atoms only one unit cell away from almost identical bulk. Keywords: ferroelectric, surface, slab, electronic structure, depolarization, BaTiO$_3$, thin film
