Molecular-dynamics simulations using a Pauling type pairwise potential have been carried out in order to study the structure of the surface of γ-Al2O3. Starting from an ideal (100) face, a reconstruction process occurs in which the unbalanced coordination of surface ions tends to fulfill their coordination capabilities. Oxygen ions come to the...
