title: First-principles study of the (001) surface of cubic SrHfO(3) and SrTiO(3).
abstract: We have performed first-principles calculations on the (001) surface of cubic SrHfO(3) and SrTiO(3) with SrO and BO(2) (B = Ti or Hf) terminations. Surface structure, partial density of states, band structure, and surface energy have been obtained. For the BO(2)-terminated surface, the largest relaxation appears on the second-layer atoms but not on the first-layer ones. The analysis of the structure relaxation parameters reveals that the rumpling of the (001) surface for SrHfO(3) with SrO termination is stronger than that for SrTiO(3). For the HfO(2)-terminated surface of SrHfO(3), the surface state appears near the M point of its band structure.
