Spin transport in dangling-bond wires on doped H-passivated Si(100).
New advances in single-atom manipulation are leading to the creation of atomic structures on H-passivated Si surfaces with functionalities important for the development of atomic and molecular based technologies. We perform total-energy and electron-transport calculations to reveal the properties and understand the features of atomic wires crafted by H removal from the surface. The presence of ...
متن کاملSurface-state engineering for interconnects on H-passivated Si(100).
Surface-state engineering strategies for atomic-size interconnects on H-passivated Si(100) surfaces are explored. The well-known simple interconnect formed by removing H-atoms from one of the Si atoms per dimer of a dimer row along the Si(100) surface is poorly conducting. This is because one-dimensional-like instabilities open electronic gaps. Here, we explore two strategies to reduce the inst...
متن کاملff ects and quantum interference in engineered dangling bond loops on silicon surfaces †
Dangling bond structures created on H-passivated silicon surfaces offer a novel platform for engineering planar nanoscale circuits, compatible with conventional semiconductor technologies. In this investigation we focus on the electronic structure and quantum transport signatures of dangling bond loops built on H-passivated Si(100) surfaces contacted by carbon nanoribbons, thus leading to a two...
متن کاملConductance, surface traps, and passivation in doped silicon nanowires.
We perform ab initio calculations within the Landauer formalism to study the influence of doping on the conductance of surface-passivated silicon nanowires. It is shown that impurities located in the core of the wire induce a strong resonant backscattering at the impurity bound state energies. Surface dangling bond defects have hardly any direct effect on conductance, but they strongly trap bot...
متن کاملQuantum interference based Boolean gates in dangling bond loops on Si(100):H surfaces
Implementing atomic and molecular scale electronic functionalities represents one of the major challenges in current nano-electronic developments. Engineered dangling bond nanostructures on Silicon or Germanium surfaces posses the potential to provide novel routes towards the development of non-conventional electronic circuits. These structures are built by selectively removing hydrogen atoms f...
