Computational study of Mn-doped GaN polar and non-polar surfaces

First-principles calculations were carried out in order to study the magnetic, electronic and structural properties of the Mn-doped polar GaN(0 0 0 1) and non-polar GaN(101¯0) and GaN(112¯0) surfaces, with the aim of refining the growth of thin films of this material. The results indicate that the s...
