On the Morphology of Group II Metal Fluoride Nanocrystals at Finite Temperature and Partial Pressure of HF

We have investigated the bulk and surface properties of the group II metal fluorides CaF 2 , SrF 2 and BaF 2 using periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations and surface thermodynamics. Our bulk results show that the best agreement with experiment is achieved with t...
