The role of isotropic and anisotropic Hubbard corrections for the magnetic ordering and absolute band alignment of hematite α-Fe2O3(0001) surfaces

An isotropic (+U) and anisotropic [+(U−J)] corrected Density Functional Theory study for bulk hematite (α-Fe2O3) was carried out, and several competing terminations of its (0001) surface modeled via slabs of increasing thickness from twelve to thirty-six Fe-layers. In spite of small quantitative dif...
