FIG. 10. Surface energy eV /nm2 of the different 011 surfaces as function of the chromium chemical potential Cr, eV . Bulk-terminated dotted lines and relaxed surfaces solid lines are shown. The chemical potential ranges from the chromium bulk one to that minus the binding energy of CrO2. The 011 surface with half an oxygen atom per unit cell is stable in the largest part of the plot.
