Popis: A Gaussian Approximation Potential (GAP) was trained using density-functional theory data to enable a global geometry optimization of low-index rutile IrO2 facets through simulated annealing. Ab initio thermodynamics identifies (101) and (111) (1x1)-terminations competitive with (110) in reducing environments. Experiments on single crystals find that (101) facets dominate, and exhibit the theoretically predicted (1x1) periodicity and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) core level shifts. The obtained structures are analogous to the complexions discussed in the context of ceramic battery materials.
