| Description | Journal: Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter A two-dimensional pair correlation function (TPCF) has been introduced into the study of the surface structure of materials. A molecular dynamics simulation was then performed to obtain the TPCFs for the Si(001) surface and deeper layers. The atoms interact via a potential developed by Stillinger and Weber, which includes both two-body and three-body contributions. The analysis of TPCFS shows that the atoms in deeper layers of Si(001) do not derive from their original (001) atomic plane lattice sites, but just thermally vibrate in the vicinity of their equilibrium sites, and the nearer to the surface layer the atoms are, the more violent the vibration is. The analysis also indicates that a rearrangement of atoms has occurred in the Si(001) surface and, while the majority of these atoms form bonds, a minority still exists as non-bonding atoms. |
