Abstract Magnetite nanoparticles show promising applications in drug delivery, catalysis, and spintronics. The surface of magnetite plays an important role in these applications. Therefore, it is critical to understand the surface structure of Fe3O4 at atomic scale. Here, using a combination of first-principles calculations, particle swarm optimization (PSO) method and machine learning, we investigate the possible reconstruction and stability of Fe3O4(001) surface. The results show that besides the subsurface cation vacancy (SCV) reconstruction, an A layer with Fe vacancy (A-layer-VFe) reconstruction of the (001) surface also shows very low surface energy especially at oxygen poor condition. Molecular dynamics simulation based on the iron-oxygen interaction potential function fitted by machine learning further confirms the thermodynamic stability of the A-layer-VFe reconstruction. Our results are also instructive for the study of surface reconstruction of other metal oxides.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
