摘要
Ab initio calculations show that a cleanly cleaved nonpolar surface of considered nonmagnetic insulating metal oxides always has a band gap. If the bulk valence band edge has mainly oxygen 2p character while the bulk conduction band edge has mainly metal d character, then there is no in-the-band-gap surface state. A simple procedure to identify the polarity of a given arbitrary surface is presented. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
