Our DFT calculations demonstrate that halide passivants remove the dangling-bond-derived states of surface cationic atoms. The modulation of halide passivants to electronic structures of CdSe quantum dots depends on the coordination numbers of halide passivants. Cl passivants need three coordinated atoms to remove the effect of passivants on band edges.

The geometric and electronic structures of the cubic CaHfO3 (001) surfaces have been studied using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Two different terminations, CaO- and HfO2-terminated surfaces, were investigated. It has been found that Ca atom has the largest relaxation for both kinds of terminations, and the surface rumpling of the CaO termination is far more prominent than that of the HfO2-terminated surface. Both the bandgaps of the CaO- and HfO2-terminated surfaces were calculated to be smaller than that of the CaHfO3 bulk. It was also shown that the CaO-terminated surface has a lower energy than the HfO2-terminated surface.
