First principle calculation of missing-row reconstructed (110) surfaces of noble metals

The purpose of this thesis is to calculate the surface energy for the (1 x n) reconstructed (110) surfaces of noble metals. The calculation was done using a code called VASP (Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package). The code uses the Density Functional Theory to study the electronic structures of mater...
