abstract = {The orientation-dependent surface energies of 35 low-index
and vicinal Pb surface orientations, located in the [001],
[(1) over bar 10], and [01 (1) over bar] zones, have been
calculated by density-functional theory within the
local-density approximation. The highest surface energy
anisotropies in these zones are at the (210), (110), and
(311) directions. Surface relaxation decreases the surface
energy anisotropy significantly. For misorientations smaller
than 12 degrees the (projected) surface energy in a given
zone increases linearly with step density, while curvature
is found at higher misorientations, indicative of repulsive
step-step interactions. These results are fully consistent
with the orientation-dependent surface energy predicted by
the statistical mechanics of the terrace-step-kink model of
vicinal surfaces. The step formation energies and surface
and step relaxation energies are derived and analyzed. There
is good agreement with available experimental data. The
calculated surface energies in eV/atom correlate linearly
with the number of broken surface bonds. Deviations from
perfect linearity are found to be essential for a proper
description of the equilibrium crystal shape of Pb.},
