Surface Stoichiometry and Oxidation of NiTi

NiTi shape memory alloy is considered to be the most important shape memory alloys for its salient superelasticity and shape memory effect,which are displayed in martensitic transformations.In this paper, first-principles plane-wave method is utilized to systemically investigate the geometrical and electronic structures of NiTi (100) surface.Calculated the adsorption of oxygen atoms on the Ti/ NITI different location .The formation energy, Millikan population analysis results show that the Oxygen atoms easy to be adsorbed on the surface of Ti end surface,formation of TiO2.
