摘要
Atomic structures for the Ge/Si(105) surface were investigated using density functional theory calculations. A new structural model which includes rebonded S-B steps turned out to be energetically more favorable than the currently accepted one with non-bonded S-B steps. Structure optimization shows large relaxation of dimers at the rebonded S-B steps and causes significant charge redistribution among dangling bonds, leading to excellent agreement between theoretical and experimental STM images.
