Структура і властивості первинних поверхневих утворень германію на грані Si(001): квантовохімічні дослідження
A comparative analysis has been performed on the applicability of quantum chemical methods of different complicability to describe the structure and properties of the clean Si(001) surface, and of that containing a few atoms of germanium. It has been found that the density functional theory within the cluster approximation involving the exchange-correlation functional B3LYP and 6-31 G** basis set is the most rational from the point of view of reproducibility of experimentally found results and considering the moderate cost of computing time and computer resources. It is just this approximation of quantumISSN 2079-1704. XSi-SiSi-GeGe-Ge< surface dimers bonds as well as the experimentally justified fact of their buckling.
