Density Functional Theory Investigation into the B and Ga Doped Clean and Water Covered γ-Alumina Surfaces

The structures and energies of the B and Ga incorporated γ-alumina surface as well as the adsorption of water are investigated using dispersion corrected density functional theory. The results show that the substitution of surface Al atom by B atom is not so favored as Ga atom. The substitution reac...
