Atomistic insights into interactions between oxygen and α–Zr (101-1) surface

The oxidation corrosion is a crucial challenge for zirconium (Zr) alloys as cladding materials in fission power reactors. In the present study, a first-principles approach is employed for understanding behaviors of oxygen adsorbed on the Zr (101-1) surface. It is found that the Zr substrate is react...
