Abstract
Surface relaxation and surface energy are calculated for Rh, Ir, Pb, Ca, Sr, and Th, for three low-index surfaces, using the equivalent crystal theory (ECT) method. The surfaces are the (100), (110) and (111) faces. In this study, we only considered perpendicular relaxation where the relaxation was determined by the minimization of the total energy. The results obtained are analyzed with good agreement to experiment and first – principles calculations where available.
