摘要
We study, through first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory, the adsorption of the Ge monomer on the Si(100) surface. We use this particular system to draw attention to the general fact that in semiconductors, one cannot talk about the adsorption sites and adsorption energies for a monomer without including in the description the local substrate configuration. As a consequence, for a given position of the monomer on the surface, there can be many local minima that differ basically in the substrate local configuration.
