First principles study of Si ( 335 ) - Au surface
نویسنده
چکیده
The structural and electronic properties of gold decorated Si(335) surface are studied by means of density-functional calculations. The resulting structural model indicates that the Au atoms substitute some of the Si atoms in the middle of the terrace in the surface layer. Calculated electronic band structure near the Fermi energy features two metallic bands, one coming from the step edge Si atoms and the other one having its origin in hybridization between the Au and neighboring Si atoms in the middle of the terrace. The obtained electronic bands remain in good agreement with photoemission data.

First-principles study on the electronic structure of Thiophenbithiol (TBT) on Au(100) surface
First principle calculations were performed using Density functional theory within the local spin density approximation (LSDA) to understand the electronic properties of Au(100)+TBT system and compare the results with Au(100) and bulk Au properties. Band structure, the total DOS and charge density for these materials are calculated. We found that the HOMO for Au(100)+TBT becomes broader than Au...

متن کاملScanning tunneling microscopy of monoatomic gold chains on vicinal Si ( 335 ) surface : experimental and theoretical study
We study electronic and topographic properties of the Si(335) surface, containing Au wires parallel to the steps. We use scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) supplemented by reflection of high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) technique. The STM data show the space and voltage dependent oscillations of the distance between STM tip and the surface which can be explained within one band tight bi...
متن کاملStructural models for the Si(553)-Au atomic chain reconstruction
Recent photoemission experiments on the Si(553)-Au reconstruction show a one-dimensional band with a peculiar ∼ 1 4 filling. This band could provide an opportunity for observing large spin-charge separation if electron-electron interactions could be increased. To this end, it is necessary to understand in detail the origin of this surface band. A first step is the determination of the structure...
