摘要：

The first-principles calculations have been performed on the adsorption of tetrahedron- and rhombus-Nb-4 clusters on the Si(0 0 1)-(4 x 2). The results show that both Nb-4 configurations can be stably adsorbed on the Si(0 0 1) surface, and the adsorption of bidimensional Nb-4 clusters is more stable than those of tetrahedron-Nb-4. The energy barriers are very high which indicates that it is difficult for the Nb-4 clusters to diffuse. The work functions of the most stable adsorption sites decrease compared with that of the clean Si(0 0 1) surface, which demonstrates that the electronic charges transfer from the Nb-4 clusters to the Si(0 0 1) surface.
