H Segregation by Adatoms on Hydrogen-Terminated Semiconductor Surfaces

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We present our first-principles total-energy calculation of the adsorption of various adatoms (the third-row elements and 3d transition metals) and the segregation of H on the hydrogen-terminated Si(111) and Ge(111) surfaces [H/Si(111) and H/Ge(111)]. We find out that the adsorption structures are closely related with the number of the partially-filled valence electrons, n. The Mg and Zn adatoms with filled valence electrons (n = 0) do not interact with the H-terminated surfaces. The adatoms with n = 1, such as Na, Al, Cu and Ag, interact weakly with the surfaces. On the other hand, elements with n ≥ 2, such as group IV ∽ VI and transition metals, show a strong chemical interaction with the surfaces. In these cases, one or more H atoms are segregated from the surface without any energy barrier.

22 "Though Sc (4s23d1) has only one electron in the 3d state, it is strongly adsorbed on the H/Si(111) surface, which is expressed by creation of an unpaired electron by electron transition for 4s ! 3d in adsorption, i.e., 4s23d1 ! 4s13d2. The calculated energy di erence between the 4s and the 3d orbitals is only 0.7 eV, which means that the transition can easily occur in adsorption"

23 "The binding energy of Cl-H is larger than that of Si-H by 0.82 eV"
