摘要: We have modelled the (111)(Nb)/(0001)(s)Nb/Al2O3 interface using an atomistic, static lattice simulation technique. The interaction between metal and oxide combines short range atoms ions, Coulomb ions induced image charge of metal, energy required to immerse ionic cores in jellium. Al3+ ion Nb atom was found be repulsive, but O2-/Nb attractive at separations greater than 0.23 nm. As a result lowest terminate on oxygen plane Al2O3; crystal, with placed over vacant sites Al lattice. interfacial this calculated -3.6 J/m(2). previous work results agree well LDF calculations. structure is also good agreement interpretation HREM images films grown (0001) face Al2O3 Molecular Beam Epitaxy.
