摘要: The electronic properties of molybdenum surfaces and interfaces with monoclinic zirconia (Mo∕m-ZrO2) different stoichiometries are investigated through first-principles calculations. We show that oxygen adsorption on the Mo(110) surface strongly increases Mo vacuum work function, a similar trend is observed for function upon oxygenation stoichiometric Mo∕m-ZrO2 interface, albeit to smaller extent. As expected, interface reduction/oxidation decreases/increases effective function. However, overoxidation leading formation thin MoOx layer between m-ZrO2 (Mo∕MoOx∕m-ZrO2) causes work-function decrease respect value. This result especially surprising because calculations indicate subsurface oxidation slabs Moreover, calculated rutile MoO2(110) slab ∼6.0eV, considerably larger th...
