Surface chemistry and adhesive properties of oxidised Si surfaces

I have used density functional theory and classical molecular dynamics to study the chemistry of the native oxide layer on the Si(100) surface. Surface oxidation is accompanied by the development of tensile surface stress and by formation of Si species with a range of oxidation states. Total energy...
