Hello everybody.
I'm trying to do some simulations of the interaction of Re on athe
(110)
surface of gamma-Al2O3. The problem I have is that g-Al2O3 seems to be
a
pretty nasty system (At least for a surface simulations begginer like
me
:-). I have a paper by Wolverton where they declare that after checking
the different options they have, they found a nice compact (i.e.
similar
axis lengths) and small cell to do the simulations on bulk alumina. I
have
been trying to create this cell for some time now without success.
What I'm wondering is if anybody here has some expertise with g-Al2O3,
can
maybe tell me how to build that cell. Maybe also send me some examples
of
cells that I could use to guide me. Any help would be very greatly
appreciated.
Best regards and thanks in advance, Fer.
