0 Reconstructions of diamond ( 100 ) and ( 111 ) surfaces : Accuracy of the Brenner potential
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a detailed comparison of the structural predictions of the effective many-body Brenner potential with those of ab-initio studies for known reconstructions of diamond (100) and (111) surfaces. These results suggest high reliability of the Brenner potential for dealing with carbon-based structures where different types of bonding are present at the same time.

Diamond as an inert substrate of graphene.
Interaction between graphene and semiconducting diamond substrate has been examined with large-scale density functional theory calculations. Clean and hydrogenated diamond (100) and (111) surfaces have been studied. It turns out that weak van der Waals interactions dominate for graphene on all these surfaces. High carrier mobility of graphene is almost not affected, except for a negligible ener...
متن کاملStructure of the diamond (111) surface: Single-dangling-bond versus triple-dangling-bond face.
We present converged first-principles calculations for the atomic and electronic structure of diamond ~111! surfaces based on density-functional theory in the local-density approximation. Singleand triple-danglingbond surfaces with 131, 231, and (A33A3)R30° translational symmetry are studied by means of totalenergy minimizations. The ground-state geometries and electronic band structures are co...
متن کاملSilica based polishing of {100} and {111} single crystal diamond
Diamond is one of the hardest and most difficult to polish materials. In this paper, the polishing of {111} and {100} single crystal diamond surfaces by standard chemical mechanical polishing, as used in the silicon industry, is demonstrated. A Logitech Tribo Chemical Mechanical Polishing system with Logitech SF1 Syton and a polyurethane/polyester polishing pad was used. A reduction in roughnes...
متن کاملTwin-step-related growth phenomena of thick diamond film
A thick diamond film prepared by glow discharge plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The degeneration of the {111} faces into three {110} faces was found to be widespread. Both the {110} and {100} faces grow via a step mechanism, with the steps generally originating from the re-entrant corner ...
متن کاملCalculation for Energy of (111) Surfaces of Palladium in Tight Binding Model
In this work calculation of energetics of transition metal surfaces is presented. The tight-binding model is employed in order to calculate the energetics. The tight-binding basis set is limited to d orbitals which are valid for elements at the end of transition metals series. In our analysis we concentrated on electronic effects at temperature T=0 K, this means that no entropic term will be pr...
