Germanium−perovskite oxide heterostructures have a strong potential for next-generation low-voltage and low-leakage metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors. We investigated the atomic structure and electronic properties of Ge on perfect and defective (001) SrTiO{sub 3} by first-principle calculations. The specific adsorption sites at the initial growth stage and the atomic structure of Ge on the SrTiO{sub 3} (001) substrate have been systematically investigated. The surface grand potential was calculated and compared as a function of the relative chemical potential. The complete surface phase diagram was presented. The energetically favorable interfaces were pointed out among the atomic arrangements of the Ge/SrTiO{sub 3} (001) interfaces. The atomic structure and electronic properties of the intrinsic point defects were calculated and analyzed for the Ge/SrTiO{sub 3} (001) interfaces.
