The effect of the STM tip on Si(100) reconstructed surfaces

We present a theoretical study of the effects of the STM tip on the geometry of Si(100) reconstructed surfaces. The energy barrier to switching between different reconstructions is also discussed. We use a molecular dynamics method and self-consistent forces to simulate the time-dependent behaviour...
