Ab initio Studies of Indium Clustering on the Ge(111)-5x5 Surface

This thesis reports an \textit{ab initio} study of the Ge(111)-5$\times$5 reconstruction, which forms on top of a Si(111)-7$\times$7 substrate. Detailed descriptions of the structural and electronic properties of this surface, obtained from density-functional calculations, are presented and analyzed...
