First-Principle Modelling of Forsterite Surface Properties: Accuracy of Methods and Basis Sets

The seven main crystal surfaces of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) were modeled using various Gaussian-type basis sets, and several formulations for the exchange-correlation functional within the density functional theory (DFT). The recently developed pob-TZVP basis set provides the best results for all proper...
