Energetics, bonding mechanism and electronic structure of ceramic/ceramic and metal/ceramic interfaces. Annual progress report, April 1, 1994--September 30, 1994

New efforts have been directed toward understanding the electronic structure and properties of the metal/ceramic interface. The authors studied the structure and electronic structure properties of the Ag/CdO (100) interface employing the total energy FLAPW thin film method. In addition, the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the metal-ceramic interfaces between palladium, rhodium, or ruthenium and magnesium oxide were investigated by the FLAPW method
