摘要
Using the full-potential local orbital minimum-basis method, we investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of both the possible (0 0 1) surfaces for CsN with CsCI structure. The calculated results reveal that Cs-terminated surface is more stable than C-termination in energy. From the analysis of the spin-polarized density of states, we find that half-metallic characteristics of the bulk CsN is preserved at both the possible terminated surfaces. Moreover, we also find that the atomic magnetic moments at the (0 0 1) surfaces are greatly different from the bulk values. Finally, the surface free energy is also discussed in order to offer some hints to fabricate CsN thin film. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
