General guidelines for correlating surface diffusion parameters have existed up to now only
in loose form and for specialized cases. Based on a survey of over 500 systems (the largest …

The dissociative adsorption of molecular hydrogen on silicon is considered to be the
prototype for an activated chemical reaction at a semiconductor surface. The covalent nature …

We present ab initio investigations of the structural and electronic properties of clean and
hydrogen-covered diamond (100) surfaces within local-density-functional theory. Our …

We present a computationally efficient classical many-body potential that is capable of
predicting the energetics of bulk silicon, silicon surfaces, and the interaction of hydrogen …

Optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) from silicon surfaces may be resonantly
enhanced by dangling-bond-derived surface states. The resulting high sensitivity to …

The diffusion, nucleation, and growth of Si on Si (001) predosed with varying amounts of
hydrogen were studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and kinetic Monte Carlo …

Using thermal desorption mass spectrometry, we have shown unambiguously that the
adsorption of atomic hydrogen on Si (100)-2× 1 leads to hydrogen pairing on silicon dimers …

Experimental and theoretical results on the dynamics of dissociative adsorption and
recombinative desorption of hydrogen on silicon are presented. Using optical second …

A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was used to investigate tip-induced chlorine
desorption and lithographic patterning of Cl-terminated Si (100)-(2× 1) surfaces from 4 to …

Optical second-harmonic generation has been used to determine the sticking probability for
dissociative adsorption of H2 and D2 on Si (100) 2× 1 as a function of surface temperature …
