Abstract

Atomic geometry and electronic density of states of the wurtzite CdS (1010) cleavage surface have been calculated. Calculations were carried out with two different self-consistent ab initio LDA methods leading to similar results. Surface relaxation is found to be strong: cations relax towards bulk and anions outwards from the surface. This is in accordance with experimental observations and other published calculations.
