摘要
Organic molecular adsorption on Si(100) is modelled using a combination of semi-empirical, Hartree-Fock and density functional theory molecular orbital methods together with a cluster model of a surface. Various adsorption configurations for benzene on Si(100) are considered. For each, fully optimized structures and absolute adsorption energies are calculated. Valence region occupied state current density iso-surfaces are calculated to simulate constant current STM images. Detailed comparison with experimental energetics and STM images allows unambiguous identification of three room temperature stable structures. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
