Abstract
The stability and electronic properties of Mg2Pb (100), (110) and (111) surfaces were investigated by using the first-principles density functional theory (DFT) method. The calculated results showed that the orders of relaxation and surface energy are |∆d15(111)| < |∆d15(110)| < |∆d15(100)| andEsurf(100) >Esurf(110) >Esurf(111), respectively, indicating that Mg2Pb (111) surface is the most stable among these three low index surfaces. The Density of states (DOS) of Mg2Pb surfaces are mainly dominated by Pb-6, Mg-3s, and 2porbitals in the band ranging from-5 eV to Fermi level. It can be further obtained from results of the DOS and the charge density difference that Mg2Pb (111) surface is more stable than Mg2Pb (100) and (110) surfaces. The Mg2Pb (111) surface is the thermodynamically most favorable over all of the range of.
