Ab initio study of Ti0.5Al0.5N(001)—residual and environmental gas interactions

We have explored surface processes on Ti _0.5 Al _0.5 N(001) interacting with residual and environmental gases, namely O _2 , H _2 O and CO _2 , using ab initio molecular dynamics. Dissociative adsorption of O _2 occurs on Ti sites, which are unusual sites, as Al _2 O _3 is more stable than TiO _2 ....
