摘要
The diffusion pathways along the trough on the Si(001) surface are investigated by tight-binding molecular dynamics calculations using the environment-dependent tight-binding silicon potential and by ab-initio calculations using the Car-Parrinello method. A new diffusion pathway is discovered, consisting of rotation of the addimer. The energy barrier is calculated to be 1.22 eV per dimer, which is in excellent agreement with the experiment.
