摘要
We present simulations of voltage-dependent STM images for the Si(113)3x2 surface using a simple tight-binding description of surface electronic structure. Quantitative agreement with experiment is obtained. Our approach is particularly well suited for complex structures which present difficulties for more exact calculations. The local barrier for tunnelling electrons is shown to have an important effect on the interpretation of STM images.
