摘要
We study the equilibrium structure of the Si(001) surface with a single dimer vacancy and the migration of the dimer vacancy using a tight-binding total energy scheme. The calculated Si(001) surface has p(2×2) ordering, in good agreement with experiments. With a single dimer vacancy, we find three equilibrium structures; nonbonding, rebonding, and weak bonding. The local electronic density of states reveals that the nonbonding model does not show deep gap states, in good agreement with experiments. We also study the migration of a single dimer vacancy. We compare the bond-breaking mechanism and the place-exchange mechanism. The energy barriers of the place-exchange and bond-breaking mechanisms are 1.90 and 1.18 eV, respectively, which is in contrast with the general belief that the place-exchange mechanism is favored over the bond-breaking mechanism. These results are further compared to other theoretical calculations and experimental results. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
