Siesta surface passivation
I am trying to passivate the surface of $\ce{ZnO}$ quantum dot using siesta. I generated pseudo-hydrogens with fractional charges of 1.5e (to passivate Zn) and .5e (to passivate O) using the siesta ...

Why do pseudohydrogen atoms have a charge of 0.75e when calculating GaAs surfaces?
In the literature[1,2], when calculating GaAs or GaN surfaces by DFT (using package VASP), pseudohydrogen atoms with q=0.75e for the dangling bond of As and N, and q=1.25e for the dangling bond of Ga. ...

How to terminate a surface with hydrogens
I am trying to study surface reconstructions of metal oxides using Quantum ESPRESSO. For this, I am creating slabs using python tools: ASE, Pymatgen, and catgen. However, I am unable to terminate the ...
