Using first-principles calculations, we calculated the atomic structures and surface energies of molybdenum surfaces in the ͑100͒, ͑110͒, ͑111͒, and ͑211͒ orientations. The equilibrium crystal shape of molybdenum is then found using the Wulff construction. We find that all four orientations appear on the Wulff plot and hence they are stable. ͓S0163-1829͑98͒06803-9͔
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
