△ [20a-B204-1] First-principles calculations of shear plane structures and oxygen vacancy behavior in rutile TiO2
Keywords:first-principles calculations, crystallographic shear plane, oxygen vacancy
Rutile TiO2 is a versatile material, and it is known that oxygen vacancies in TiO2 accumulate and align to form surface defects called shear planes, which have a significant effect on physical properties. Therefore, it is essential to obtain knowledge of the behavior of oxygen vacancies at and near the shear planes formed in TiO2 to design better devices. In this study, we aimed to clarify the shear surface structure and the oxygen vacancy behavior in the vicinity of the shear surface in rutile TiO2 using the first-principles calculation method.
