DOS and band in Si slab model

#1 Post by yzhu » Wed Jun 01, 2005 3:03 pm

Dear everyone:

Why the dos of stable Si in slab model with surface has no gap? So the energy band with buckling dimer on surface shows metal nature . Thank you :)

1) please read the literature concerning the discussion of the electronic structure
of the 2x1-reconstructed Si(100) surface.
2) to exhibit a bulk-like electronic structure of the central Si atoms, your slab certainly is not thick enough
