The adsorption and dissociation of water and HF over the surfaces of aluminium oxide polymorphs, a density functional theory study

Quantum mechanical approaches to selecting the most accurate method of calculation for the bulk structure of alpha-alumina. The aluminium terminated {0001} surface is then fully analysed, followed by the hydroxylated {0001} alpha-alumina surface, formed by the Dissociative chemisorption of water. Th...
