Surface reconstruction of tetragonal methylammonium lead triiodide

We present a detailed first-principles analysis of the (001) surface of methylammonium lead triiodide (MAPbI3). With density functional theory, we investigate the atomic and electronic structure of the tetragonal (I4cm) phase of MAPbI3. We analyzed surface models with MAI-termination (MAI-T) and PbI...
