What is the meaning of a "free energy per unit surface area" vs "pressure" plot?
I don't understand this graph. From the graph, does it mean that at high pressures the oxide layer is stable and this stability reduces at low pressures and temperatures?

VASP - suggestion on optimization of interfaced slabs
I am currently trying to create a CeO2 (100) / CoO (200) interface for a bulk oxide.
Unlike what I usually see, slabs stacked on the z-axis ("vertically"), I would like to stack the two &...

Eigenvalues of Hubbard occupancy matrix [closed]
I am studying Hematite (Fe2O3) Antiferromagnetic configuration using QE 7.0 (EDIT: compiled and tried 7.1) at the PBE+U level (U = 4.5).
I obtained an excellent agreement with experimental data on ...

Hubbard U value on LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface [closed]
I want to do a GGA+U calculation on the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructure to study the 2DEG formed at the interface. In all the references I came across they used U around 4eV-6eV on Ti 3d orbitals, I'm ...
