Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of the scanning tunneling microscope
Jerry Tersoff,D. R. Hamann +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a metal tip is scanned along the surface while ad justing its height to maintain constant vacuum tunneling current, and a contour map of the surface is generated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling solid-state chemistry: Interatomic potentials for multicomponent systems
TL;DR: In this article, a general form for an empirical interatomic potential for multicomponent systems is proposed, which interpolates between potentials for the respective elements to treat heteronuclear bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI
New empirical approach for the structure and energy of covalent systems
TL;DR: A new potential for silicon is presented, along with results of extensive tests which suggest that this potential provides a rather realistic description of silicon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory and Application for the Scanning Tunneling Microscope
Jerry Tersoff,D. R. Hamann +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a theory for vacuum tunneling between a real solid surface and a model probe with a locally spherical tip is presented, applicable to the recently developed "scanning tunneling microscope."
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical interatomic potential for carbon, with application to amorphous carbon
TL;DR: An empirical interatomic potential is introduced, which gives a convenient and relatively accurate description of the structural properties and energetics of carbon, including elastic properties, phonons, polytypes, and defects and migration barriers in diamond and graphite.
