N2 - Maximum Probability Domain (MPD) analysis has been recently applied to
pure covalent and ionic crystals. The present study is devoted to a
first MPD analysis of semi ionic crystals, Silicon Oxide, Aluminum Oxide
and Titanium Oxide. These crystals are involved in important catalytic
and photo-catalytic processes occurring on their surfaces. For this
reason the study has been performed on bulk crystal and on surface slab
models. Also surface neutral oxygen vacancy, the F-0 surface defect, has
been considered. The Electron Localization Function (ELF) analysis has
also been performed, due to its holistic approach to electronic
structures. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier BM.
