AbstractResults of periodic ab initio density functional theory calculations on thin films of (i) wurtzite ZnO (hexagonal) which terminate with the non-polar (1010) surface, and with the polar (0001) and (0001) surfaces (ii) zinc blende (cubic) ZnO which terminate with the non-polar (110) and with the polar (111) surfaces. Thin (less than18 layer) films of wurtzite ZnO which terminate with the polar (0001) and (0001) surfaces are found to be higher in energy than corresponding films in which these polar surfaces flatten out forming a new planar ‘graphitic’-like structure in which the Zn and O atoms are coplanar and the dipole is removed. This is the lowest energy surface for ultra-thin films. For zinc-blende ZnO a graphitic-type solution, but with a different stacking of ZnO layers, is also comparable to energy to the non-polar (110) and polar (111) solutions. Consequences for crystal growth and the stabilization of thin films and nanostructures are discussed.

Density functional theory calculations are performed in order to study the structural and electronic properties of monolayer Pt2HgSe3. Effects of uniaxial and biaxial strain, layer thickness, electric field and out-of-plane pressure on the electronic properties are systematically investigated.
