Influences of H on the Adsorption of a Single Ag Atom on Si(111)-7 × 7 Surface

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The adsorption of a single Ag atom on both clear Si(111)-7 &#215; 7 and 19 hydrogen terminated Si(111)-7 &#215; 7 (hereafter referred as 19H-Si(111)-7 &#215; 7) surfaces has been investigated using first-principles calculations. The results indicated...

description <p>Abstract</p> <p>The adsorption of a single Ag atom on both clear Si(111)-7 &#215; 7 and 19 hydrogen terminated Si(111)-7 &#215; 7 (hereafter referred as 19H-Si(111)-7 &#215; 7) surfaces has been investigated using first-principles calculations. The results indicated that the pre-adsorbed H on Si surface altered the surface electronic properties of Si and influenced the adsorption properties of Ag atom on the H terminated Si surface (e.g., adsorption site and bonding properties). Difference charge density data indicated that covalent bond is formed between adsorbed Ag and H atoms on 19H-Si(111)-7 &#215; 7 surface, which increases the adsorption energy of Ag atom on Si surface.</p>
