摘要
Using the first-principle ab initio pseudopotential method and the Bardeen transfer Hamiltonian approximation, we have calculated scanning-tunneling-microscopy images of the fully relaxed GaAs(001) beta(2x4) and beta(4x2) surfaces. Our calculation included a four-atom Al cluster to represent the tip. We present the results that we obtained for these two different surfaces at different tip-surface bias voltages and discuss the relationship between the simulated scanning-tunneling-microscopy images and the surface charge density within the given energy range with respect to the Fermi level.
