Figure 5

The charge density difference between Mercury and the hBN surface of configuration (a) the fcc cluster of Mercury on hBN, (b) the Hg (101) surface on hBN surface, (c) 2 layers of Hg (101) surface on hBN surface, and (d) the Hg (003) surface on hBN surface. The structures are optimized using the plane-wave basis sets at the PBE/D3 level of theory, including the scalar relativistic effect in the pseudopotentials. The iso-value of the charge difference is fixed to 0.0001 e/a.u.3. Yellow and blue colors indicate positive and negative levels that correspond to the gain and loss of electrons.
