    Stability of low-index surfaces of Cs2SnI6 as a function of chemical potentials (a) Analysis of stability of the two terminations of Cs2SnI6 (001) surface with respect to the allowed region for maintaining equilibrium with the primary phase Cs2SnI6. The orange and blue regions indicate the stable region for CsI2- and SnI4-terminations, respectively; (b) Similar to (a) for the Cs2SnI6 (011) surface. The orange and blue regions are for the I4- and Cs2SnI2-terminations, respectively; (c) Similar to (a) for the Cs2SnI6 (111) surface.
