17. 3 adsorption energy, with which the calculations agreed reasonably well. In [17••] the DFT pseudopotential technique was used to investigate the structure and energetics of a variety of surface defects on MgO (001), including steps, comers and F-centres. Full relaxation of all ions was included, along with the first quantitative results for the dependence of oxygen removal energy on the coordination of the surface site.

The Hartree-Fock method was used to study formation energies for a variety of steps and islands on the MgO (001) surface, although without ionic relaxation. This work is also of technical interest, because it makes use of the Hartree-Fock embedding technique.

The DFT-pseudopotential method is used to investigate energetics and geometry of oxygen adsorption at a variety of sites on the perfect and defective MgO (001) surface, including full ionic relaxation. It identifies adsorption mechanisms in the singlet state to form a surface peroxide and in triplet state bound to surface Mg.
