Abstract
Using the first-principles pseudopotential LDA approach, we have performed calculations of the atomic and electronic structure of the (110) surface of the cubic phase of GaN and BN. It is found that these surfaces are characterised by a much smaller rotation angle ω of the top atomic layer than many other III–V(110) surfaces. We have found a linear correlation between the relative vertical displacement of the cation and the anion on the surface layer ( Δ 1⊥) and the surface bond length of the III–V, II–VI and SiC compounds. In addition, we have studied the band structure addressing the influence of the degree of ionicity on the character of the surface states.
