This review describes advances in understanding the structural, electronic, and chemical
properties of clean low-index semiconductor surfaces during the first decade following the …

Semiconductor Surfaces and Interfaces deals with structural and electronic properties of
semiconductor surfaces and interfaces. The first part introduces the general aspects of …

Atomic beam techniques are presently being used in many branches of surface physics
such as studies of the particle-surface physisorption potential, surface structure, surface …

We use a plane-wave-pseudopotential code to study the surface energetics for the
elemental semiconductors Ge, Si, and diamond from first principles. Various reconstruction …

The ability to manipulate single atoms and molecules laterally for creating artificial structures
on surfaces is driving us closer to the ultimate limit of two-dimensional nanoengineering …

The adsorption of hydrogen on semiconductors strongly modifies the electronic and
chemical properties of the surfaces, whether on the surface or in the sub-surface region. This …

We present a review of semiconductor surface reconstruction. Experimental and theoretical
results on atomic geometry, electronic states, phonon modes, and bonding are presented for …

We present ab-initio local-density functional calculations of the atomic and electronic
structure of the clean and hydrogen-covered one dangling-bond diamond (111) surfaces …

Experimental results on the lateral manipulation of single atoms at semiconductor surfaces
using non-contact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) are presented. These experiments …

Abstract The (2× 1) reconstruction of the (111) surface of diamond has been characterized
via a series of first principles molecular dynamics calculations. The reconstructed clean …
