摘要
SiHx (x = 1,2,3) ions impact on Si(001)(1 x 1):H and Si(001)(2 x 1):H surfaces has been studied by classical molecular dynamic simulations, considering an energetic range for the impinging species from 5 to 15 eV. Despite the initial full H coverage a high sticking coefficient has been obtained for all the species under investigation. A considerable fraction of adsorption events causes H removal from the surface while for other simulations a soft landing mechanism of the ions has been observed. Few representative minima for SiH2/ Si(0 01)(2 x 1):H were re-converged by ab initio calculations in order to check the reliability of our results. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
