摘要
Density functional theory calculations have been performed to find the minimum energy adsorption configuration for SiH2 on the Si(001) surface. Of the four sites considered, the two most stable are found to differ in adsorption energy by less than 0.01 eV, The energy of a second adsorption event on an adjacent site has been evaluated for the two favourable structures; in one case a strong repulsive interaction is found between the adsorbates, effectively preventing this structure from contributing to the growth mechanism. Recent experimental studies are assessed in the light of these results.
