  • The anisotropy of ac conductivity and dielectric constant of anisotropic conductor-insulator composites
    Yuichi Hazama; Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE, SPRINGER, 45, 11, 2843-2851, Jun. 2010, Peer-reviwed, We study the complex ac admittance tensor (ac conductivity and dielectric constant) of anisotropic conductor-insulator composite materials, based on anisotropic two-dimensional RC-networks consisting of randomly placed conductors and capacitors with different conductor existence (bond occupation) probabilities in two directions. We calculate numerically each component of the complex ac admittance tensor by applying a transfer matrix method and reveal the effect of the anisotropy of the bond occupation probability on the frequency characteristics of the ac admittance tensor. It is found that the dual relation holds for each diagonal component of the complex admittance tensor of the anisotropic two-dimensional RC-network. For the effective conductance in the metallic region, the anisotropy depends not only on the anisotropy of the bond occupation probability, but also on the frequency omega. We derive the analytical relation between the anisotropy of the conductance and the anisotropy of the bond occupation probability, at both the dc limit and omega RC = 1. The calculated results on the ac admittance are compared with the effective medium theory and how the accuracy of the theory is related with the microscopic current path is clarified.

  • Control mechanism of friction by dynamic actuation of nanometer-sized contacts
    Hiroyuki Iizuka; Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 80, 15, 155449-1-8, Oct. 2009, Peer-reviwed, We studied both the mechanism and the condition of dynamic superlubricity actuated in a dynamic way for the atomic contact of a friction force microscope, using dynamical simulation of the Tomlinson model. The superlubricity was achieved by ac modulation of the normal force acting between two contacting bodies at well-defined frequencies corresponding to normal resonances of the combined system [A. Socoliuc et al., Science 313, 207 (2006)]. The time-averaged friction force depends crucially on the modulation amplitude and the superlubricity occurs above the critical amplitude. The effect on the superlubricity of the corrugation amplitude of surface potential, sliding velocity, a damping coefficient, and temperature are clarified. The superlubricity at zero temperature can be induced by transit of the tip via the "turning point," the top position of the surface potential without elastic deformation, and it is allowed at low-sliding velocities in the under-damped case. The superlubricity at a room temperature can be actuated efficiently with a much smaller critical amplitude than that at zero temperature and it can be achieved at sufficiently low-sliding velocities in both the underdamped and the overdamped cases, assisted by thermally activated hopping of the tip.

  • Ballistic thermal conductance of electrons in graphene ribbons
    Eiji Watanabe; Sho Yamaguchi; Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 80, 8, 085404-1-6, Aug. 2009, Peer-reviwed, We investigate the ballistic thermal conductance of electrons in gated graphene ribbons with width above 20 nm and clarify both the temperature and the Fermi-level dependences. In the intrinsic graphene ribbons, the normalized thermal conductance by the quantum conductance, kappa(0), increases monotonically with temperature. In the gated graphene ribbons, the normalized thermal conductance increases steplikely as the Fermi level increases but it has nonmonotonic temperature dependence when the Fermi level is a little larger than the bottom of the subband. The value of the step height changes from 4 kappa(0) to 2 kappa(0) with increasing temperature. The ballistic electron thermal conductance per unit width of graphene ribbons is smaller than those of corresponding single-walled nanotubes and a graphene sheet and it approaches at 100 K that of a graphene sheet above the ribbon width of about 80 and 50 nm for zigzag ribbons and armchair ribbons, respectively.

  • Anisotropic half-metallic ground state of Mn atomic wire on GaAs(110)
    Motoi Hirayama; Akiko Natori; Jun Nakamura
    JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B, A V S AMER INST PHYSICS, 27, 4, 2062-2065, Jul. 2009, Peer-reviwed, The authors have investigated magnetic properties of Ga-substituted Mn atomic wires on the GaAs(110) surface, using first-principles calculations based on the spin-density functional theory. The Mn atomic wires are assumed to align in the << 110 >>- and << 001 >>-directions. The << 110 >>-oriented wire is more stable than the << 001 >>-oriented one and has the ferromagnetic ground state with the magnetic moment of 4.0 mu(B) per Mn atom. The band structure has a large dispersion along the wire and exhibits a half-metallic state. The ferromagnetic character of the Mn wire results from the double exchange interaction through the p-d hybridization between the Mn-3d and the GaAs surface states.

  • In-plane strain effects on dielectric properties of the HfO2 thin film
    Sadakazu Wakui; Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B, A V S AMER INST PHYSICS, 27, 4, 2020-2023, Jul. 2009, Peer-reviwed, We have studied the dielectric properties of the cubic HfO2 thin film using first-principles ground-state calculations in external electric fields. We have evaluated the optical and the static dielectric constants for the cubic (c-) and the strained c-HfO2(001) films. The hydrogen termination of the surface suppresses the dielectric constant near the surface. The spatial variation of the local dielectric constant inside the film is very small. The static dielectric constant becomes larger with increasing lateral lattice constant and smaller if the constraint of the cubic symmetry is relaxed and two oxygen atoms in a unit cell becomes unequivalent. These results indicate that the change in dielectric constant can be attributed to the increase of the tetragonality in the film.

  • Structural and electronic properties of the planar C-skeleton polymers
    Jun Nakamura; Nariaki Arimura; Motoi Hirayama; Akiko Natori
    APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 94, 22, 223107-1-3, Jun. 2009, Peer-reviwed, Atomic arrangements and electronic properties of two-dimensional C-based compounds having the diamondlike skeletons terminated with hydrogen atoms and/or hydroxyl groups, named graphane (poly-C2H2) and planar polymethanol (poly-C2OH2), have been investigated using first-principles calculations within the density functional theory. These planar polymers have direct gaps of 3.32 eV (only with hydrogen terminators) and 1.88 eV (with hydrogen and OH terminators), while crystalline diamond has an indirect band gap. The optical dipole transition between band edges, especially for the planar polymethanol, can be allowed.

  • Band-bending effects on scanning tunneling microscope images of subsurface dopants: First-principles calculations
    Motoi Hirayama; Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 105, 8, -, Apr. 2009, Tip-induced band-bending (TIBB) effects on scanning tunneling microscope (STM) images have been investigated. The TIBB has an extremal value where the surface space charge layer turns from the inversion region to the depletion one with increasing dopant concentration at a fixed sample bias. Unignorable TIBB remains even for the usual degenerate semiconductor with a dopant concentration such as 10(18) cm(-3) for Si. The STM images for H-terminated Si(111) surfaces with dopants substituted at the subsurface have been simulated using first-principles calculations within the density functional theory. The subsurface dopants on the STM images become distinguishable more obviously in consideration of the TIBB effect, specifically for acceptors in the occupied state images and for donors in the empty state. As a result, the TIBB effect improves agreement between the experimental and the theoretical sample biases at which the dopant's feature can be observed clearly.

  • Negative donors in bulk Si and Si/SiO2 quantum wells in a magnetic field
    Jun-ichi Inoue; Tomo Chiba; Akiko Natori; Jun Nakamura
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 79, 3, 035206-1-8, Jan. 2009, Peer-reviwed, The spin-singlet ground states of a D- ion in bulk Si and Si/SiO2 quantum wells have been investigated in the presence of a magnetic field, using a diffusion quantum Monte Carlo method. By neglecting the central-cell correction, the negative donor state can be assigned by the valley indexes of two trapped electrons. In the bulk Si, the ground-state energies of negative donors of both the intervalley and intravalley configurations split into two levels in a magnetic field along the z axis and the lowest-energy state becomes the intervalley configuration of the two electrons in the valleys with their longitudinal axes perpendicular to the magnetic field. The magnetic field increases the binding energy of a negative donor and the strongest enhancement is attained for the intravalley configuration of the two electrons in the valley with the longitudinal axis parallel to the magnetic field. In the quantum well with the interface within the x-y plane, the quantum confinement effect changes the lowest-energy state of a negative donor from the intervalley configuration in the bulk to the intravalley configuration for which the binding energy is increased most strongly by the magnetic field perpendicular to the well interface. The central-cell correction on the binding energy of a D- ion in a quantum well is also discussed.

  • Size effects in friction of multiatomic sliding contacts
    Masanori Igarashi; Akiko Natori; Jun Nakamura
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 78, 16, 165427-1-10, Oct. 2008, Peer-reviwed, We studied the multiatomic contact effect of a friction force microscope at a finite temperature using the dynamical simulation of the Frenkel-Kontrova-Tomlinson model with a finite contact size. The friction force depends crucially on both the lattice mismatch between the tip of a friction force microscope and the sample surface and the strength of the lateral coupling between atoms in the tips. In the case of strong coupling, the friction force depends strongly on both the lattice mismatch and the tip size: there exists a magic size at which the friction force is reduced dramatically due to suppression of the effective corrugation of the surface potential to drag the tip. In the case of weak coupling, a decrease of the friction force with increasing temperature is enhanced as the tip size increases, irrespective of the lattice mismatch. This is caused by the enhanced thermal fluctuation for the multiatomic contact. The correlation among atoms in the multiatomic contact is also discussed.

  • Atomic scale dielectric constant near the SiO2/Si(001) interface
    Sadakazu Wakui; Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B, A V S AMER INST PHYSICS, 26, 4, 1579-1584, Jul. 2008, Peer-reviwed, The authors evaluated the local dielectric constant for the ultrathin beta-quartz (0001) films and the ideal quartz/Si(001) interface and studied the effect of oxygen vacancy on the local dielectric constant, using first-principles calculations in external electric fields. The optical dielectric constant in the SiO2 film is increased slightly around the oxygen vacancy, while the static dielectric constant is increased remarkably. These enhancements are caused by introduction of Si+3 state by the oxygen vacancy. For the ideal quartz/Si(001) interface, both the optical and the static dielectric constants change abruptly from each bulk value to another one. The oxygen vacancy located just at the interface layer changes the interface Si+2 state into Si+1 state and increases both the optical and the static dielectric constant in the adjacent Si region.

  • Semiconducting nature of the oxygen-adsorbed graphene sheet
    Jun Ito; Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 103, 11, 113712, 1-5, Jun. 2008, Structural and electronic properties for oxygen-adsorbed graphene sheets have been explored using first-principles total-energy calculations within the local density functional theory. A finite energy gap emerges for the oxygen-adsorbed graphene and its value increases with the ratio of O/C, as manifested by experiments. Further, adsorption energy and migration barrier for oxygen atoms on the graphene sheet have been investigated. The results show that isolated oxygen atoms are highly mobile and incline to condense on the graphene sheet. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

  • Structural bistability of the oxygen-adsorbed graphene sheet
    J. Nakamura; J. Ito; A. Natori
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE 17TH INTERNATIONAL VACUUM CONGRESS/13TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SURFACE SCIENCE/INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NANOSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 100, 052019-052022, 2008, Peer-reviwed, Structural and electronic properties for oxygen-adsorbed graphene sheets have been explored using first-principles total-energy calculations within the local spin density functional theory. It has been found that the structural bistability appears with regard to the oxygen adsorption. This bistability corresponds to the formation of epoxy group or ether group, where the ether group phase is more stable than the epoxy group one. Further, the relative stability for the one-side adsorption model to the both-sides one is explored; oxygen atoms prefer to adsorb on both sides of the graphene sheet, while the one-side adsorption structure becomes metastable.

  • Ballistic thermal conductance of a graphene sheet
    Koichi Saito; Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 76, 11, 115409-1 - 115409-4, Sep. 2007, Peer-reviwed, We derive a formula to calculate the ballistic thermal conductance of a two-dimensional system directly from the dispersion relations of phonons and electrons. We apply the method to a graphene and investigate both the temperature and the Fermi energy dependences of the ballistic thermal conductance. The ballistic thermal conductance per unit length of a graphene becomes isotropic from the threefold rotational symmetry. In the intrinsic graphene where the Fermi energy crosses the Dirac point, the thermal conductance of electrons increases in proportion to T-2 with temperature, while the phonon conductance increases in proportion to T-1.5 due to the quadratic dispersion relation of the out-of-plane acoustic mode and prevails over the electron-derived conductance irrespective of temperature. As the Fermi energy is moved from the Dirac point for the gated graphenes, the thermal conductance of electrons increases monotonically and the temperature dependence changes from a T-2 dependence in the intrinsic graphene to a T-linear one at low temperatures. The electron thermal conductance of the gated graphenes dominates over the phonon contribution at low temperatures.

  • Simulations of scanning Tunneling Microscopy for B-/P-doped Si(111) surfaces
    Motoi Hirayama; Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS PART 1-REGULAR PAPERS BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS & REVIEW PAPERS, INST PURE APPLIED PHYSICS, 46, 8B, 5643-5646, Aug. 2007, We have investigated scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) for hydrogen-terminated Si(I 11) surfaces that have substitutional dopants in the subsurface region, using first-principles calculations within the density functional theory. The STM image for the occupied state indicates protrusion around a subsurface B atom and depression around a subsurface P atom. For the STM image of the unoccupied state, protrusions and depressions are interchanged. These dopant features on the STM image can be explained by the change in electrostatic potential around a dopant ion. The most stable depth of the substitutional B or P atom in H-terminated Si(I 11) surfaces is determined to be the second atomic layer from the topmost Si layer. The effect of a dangling bond created by the desorption of H atoms on the STM image of the subsurface dopant has also been studied.

  • Dielectric properties of the interface between Si and SiO2
    Sadakazu Wakui; Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS PART 1-REGULAR PAPERS BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS & REVIEW PAPERS, JAPAN SOC APPLIED PHYSICS, 46, 5B, 3261-3264, May 2007, Peer-reviwed, We studied the electronic structure and dielectric properties of a SiO(2()quartz)-(1100)/Si(001) interface, using first-principles ground-state calculations in a finite electric field. We evaluated the optical and the static dielectric constants for the stable SiO2/Si(001) interface model. Both the optical and the static dielectric constants change abruptly in the vicinity of the SiO2/ Si interface, while the energy gap changes gradually on the SiO2 side. These results indicate that the profile of the dielectric constant is determined by the local polarization which directly reflects the local atomic arrangement.

    ECS Transactions, 11, 6, 173-182, 2007, Peer-reviwed, Spatial variation in dielectric constants near the Si/SiO2 interfaces has been revealed using the first-principles ground-states calculations in external electrostatic fields. It has been shown that both the optical and the static

Dielectric properties of isolated ultra-thin Si(111), SiO2, and La2O3(0001) films have also been investigated. Both the optical and the static dielectric constants of oxide films hardly depend on the film thickness and the spatial variation of the local dielectric constant is also very small as contrasted to the semiconducting Si film. ©The Electrochemical Society.

  • First-principles evaluations of dielectric constants for ultra-thin semiconducting films
    Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 600, 18, 4332-4336, Sep. 2006, We have explored dielectric properties of ultra-thin 2H(wurtzite)-SiC(0001) and 3C(zinc-blende)-SiC(111) films using the density functional first-principles calculations. When the thickness of the film increases, the optical dielectric constants evaluated at the center of the films approach values near to their experimental bulk dielectric constants at a thickness of only five bi-layers: 7.3 and 6.9 for 2H- and 3C-SiC, respectively. Furthermore, we have revealed that the optical dielectric constant for the SiC film is reduced distinctly at the first few bi-layers at the ((111) over bar) or (000 (1) over bar) surface, but not for (111) or (0001). Such a polarity dependence is due to the difference in work function between the surfaces. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • ac conductivity and dielectric constant of conductor-insulator composites

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC, 74, 11, 115206, 1-7, Sep. 2006, Peer-reviwed, We study the complex admittance (ac conductivity and dielectric constant) of conductor-insulator composite material, based on a two-dimensional square network consisting of randomly placed conductors and capacitors. We derived some exact analytical relations between the complex admittances of high and low frequencies and of complementary conductor concentrations. We calculate the complex admittance by applying a transfer-matrix method to a square network and study the dependence on both the frequency and the conductor concentration. The numerical results are compared with an effective-medium theory, and the range of applicability and limitation of the effective-medium theory are clarified.

  • Charge correlation and spin coupling in double quantum dots: A quantum diffusion Monte Carlo study
    Hyuga Masu; Taichi Yamada; Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC, 74, 7, 75312, 1-8, Aug. 2006, Peer-reviwed, We study both the spin and the charge correlations between two electrons in vertically coupled quantum dots with a finite well width, using a diffusion quantum Monte Carlo method. We clarify the mechanism of their dependence on both a barrier thickness and a magnetic field, on the basis of the Hubbard model analysis. When the barrier thickness increases, two-electron occupation probability in the same dot is suppressed drastically by enhanced charge correlation relative to the electron transfer effect, and the magnitude of the antiferromagnetic spin coupling decreases in two stages from a strong coupling region to a weak coupling region. Both the antiferromagnetic spin coupling constant and the two-electron occupation probability in the same dot are suppressed by magnetic field, being caused by enhanced intradot Coulomb interaction. In the case of weak lateral confinement, transition of the ground state can also be induced by a magnetic field and it accompanies changes of the spin coupling between antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic couplings.

    JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B, A V S AMER INST PHYSICS, 24, 4, 1992-1996, Jul. 2006, Peer-reviwed, We studied the dielectric properties of ultrathin SiO2 films using two methods, internal field method and dipole moment method, based on first-principles calculations of the ground state in a finite electric field. We evaluated the optical and static dielectric constants, epsilon(infinity) and epsilon(0), of H-terminated beta-quartz (0001) films through calculations without and with the lattice relaxation in the electric field applied, respectively. The calculated values of E. and so with these two methods are in good agreement with each other, and they reproduce well the experimental values. Both the optical and static dielectric constants hardly depend on the film thickness, and the spatial variation of the local dielectric constant is also very small. These results indicate that both the surface effect and the quantum confinement effect are small for the ultrathin H-terminated beta-quartz (0001) films. (c) 2006 American Vacuum Society.

  • Dielectric discontinuity at structural boundaries in Si
    Jun Nakamura; Akiko Natori
    APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 89, 5, 053118, Jul. 2006, Peer-reviwed, The authors have explored optical dielectric constants, epsilon(infinity), of ultrathin 3C(diamond)-Si(111) and 2H(wurtzite)-Si(0001) films using first-principles calculations in finite external electric fields. epsilon(infinity) evaluated at the innermost region of the films approach values near their bulk dielectric constants at a thickness of only eight bilayers: 12.8 (3C) and 13.4 (2H). Furthermore, the authors have revealed that the spatial variation of epsilon(infinity) near the stacking fault corresponding to the twin boundary for3C-Si and that at the heteroboundary between 3C- and 2H-Si changes abruptly at the boundary for both cases. Such a locality in the variation of epsilon(infinity) originates from the local atomic arrangement at the boundary.

  • Dielectric properties of hydrogen-terminated Si(111) ultrathin films
    J Nakamura; S Ishihara; A Natori; T Shimizu; K Natori
    JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 99, 5, 054309-1-054309-5, Mar. 2006, Peer-reviwed, Dielectric properties of Si(111) ultrathin films have been investigated using first-principles ground-states calculations in external electrostatic fields. With increasing thickness of Si(111) ultrathin films, the optical dielectric constant evaluated at the center of the slab converges to the experimental bulk dielectric constant at a thickness of only eight bilayers, while the energy gap of the slab is still larger than that of bulk Si. The converged theoretical dielectric constant for bulk Si is only 6.2% higher than the experimental one. Furthermore, spatial variations of the dielectric constant have also been evaluated using the position-dependent macroscopic field given by a clear-cut definition. The results show that the dielectric constant is reduced distinctly at the first few bilayers from the surface, which stems from the penetration of depolarized charges induced at the surface. Such an effective reduction of the depolarization field near the surface is one of the reasons for the decrease in optical dielectric constant for the ultrathin films.

  • Double-slip mechanism in atomic-scale friction: Tomlinson model at finite temperatures
    J Nakamura; S Wakunami; A Natori
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 72, 23, 235415-1-235415-6, Dec. 2005, Peer-reviwed, We studied the atomic scale friction mechanism of a friction force microscope (FFM) by means of the dynamical simulation in the Tomlinson model at a finite temperature. Stick-slip motion of a tip atom is the intrinsic energy dissipation mechanism at low scanning velocities of a support point of FFM and the frictional behavior is classified into three modes. The single slips occur in a high friction mode but double slips occur in a low friction mode, while mixed slips of single and double occur in an intermediate friction mode. In the intermediate friction mode, the friction force shows irregular sawtooth behavior as the support point is moved. We clarify the appearance condition of these three friction modes and each dependence of the average friction force on both temperatures and the sliding velocities.

  • Electronic and magnetic properties of BNC ribbons
    J Nakamura; T Nitta; A Natori
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC, 72, 20, 205429-1 - 205429-5, Nov. 2005, Peer-reviwed, Both electronic and magnetic properties have been studied for hexagonally bonded honeycomb ribbons consisting of B, N, and C atoms, with zigzag edges terminated by H atoms. We have used first-principles total-energy electronic-structure calculations within the local spin-density functional theory. The energy gap of BN ribbons is dominated by the edge states and it decreases monotonically with increasing ribbon width. For metallic BNC ribbons with different zigzag edges, C and BN or NB, the ground state becomes ferrimagnetic; this originates from the coexistence of the border state and the edge state.

  • Structural stability of Si(001) and Ge(001) in external electric fields

    JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS PART 1-REGULAR PAPERS BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS & REVIEW PAPERS, JAPAN SOC APPLIED PHYSICS, 44, 7B, 5413-5416, Jul. 2005, Peer-reviwed, The effects of external electrostatic fields normal to surfaces, Ex,, on the structural stability of Si(001) and Ge(001) have been investigated using first-principles total energy calculations. It has been shown that the c(4 x 2) surface is more stable than the p(2 x 2) surface for both Si(001) and Ge(001) even with a finite electric field whose strength is typical of STM, experiments. On the other hand, it has been revealed that the energy barrier for dimer flipping, E-B, shows different dependences between the Si(001)- and Ge(001)-(2 x 1) surfaces: EB at Si(001) changes in proportion to E-ext, but hardly does at Ge(001). Such a difference is explained by the difference in the rehybridization of buckled dimers between the reconstructed surfaces of Si(001) and Ge(001), which originates from the difference in the s-p separation of valence orbitals between Si and Ge.

  • Energy barrier for dimer flipping at the Si(001)-(2x1) surface in external electric fields
    J Nakamura; A Natori
    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 71, 11, 113303-1-113303-4, Mar. 2005, Peer-reviwed, Effects of external electrostatic fields, E-ext, on a barrier in energy for dimer flipping, E-B, at the Si(001)-(2x1) surface have been investigated using first-principle total energy calculations. It has been revealed that E-B changes in proportion to E-ext. This finding suggests that we can turn on and off the flip-flop motions by alternating the polarity of the field with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) at low temperatures, which is consistent with the recent experimental results. It has also been shown that the c(4x2) surface is more stable than the p(2x2) even in electric fields typical of STM experiments.

  • 半導体超薄膜の誘電特性
    中村淳; 名取晃子
    表面科学, The Surface Science Society of Japan, 26, 7, 392-397, 2005, Peer-reviwed, We have explored dielectric properties of ultra-thin Si(111) films using two different evaluation methods based on the first-principles calculations, the internal field (IF) method and the dipole moment (DM) method. As the thickness of the film increases, the dielectric constant evaluated at the innermost region of the film approaches a value near to the experimental bulk dielectric constant at a thickness of only 8 bi-layers. The theoretical value of the electronic dielectric constant for the Si(111) film is 12.85, which is only 6.2% higher than the experimental one. Furthermore, we have shown that the IF method is applicable to microscopic analysis of dielectric properties. The spatial variation in dielectric constant near the surface reveals that depolarized charges at the surface penetrate into the film up to the thickness of 3 bi-layers, resulting in an effective reduction of the dielectric constant near the surface. We have also discussed a microscopic picture of polarization on atomic scale.

  • Ga-As dimer structure for the GaAs(001)-c(4x4) surface
    A Ohtake; J Nakamura; N Koguchi; A Natori
    SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 566, 58-62, Sep. 2004, Peer-reviwed, We studied the atomic structure of the As-stabilized GaAs(001)-c(4 x 4) surface using scanning tunneling microscopy, reflection high-energy electron diffraction, reflectance difference spectroscopy, and first-principles calculations. The structure model consisting of three Ga-As dimers per c(4 x 4) unit cell explains well the experimental data. The three Ga-As dimers in the c(4 x 4) unit cells are usually aligned in the same orientation, which was found to be energetically stable. We also discuss the possible change to the symmetric As-As dimer structure under more As-rich condition. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Atomic scale friction of nanoscale clusters
    K Ohno; T Nitta; J Nakamura; A Natori
    JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B, A V S AMER INST PHYSICS, 22, 4, 2026-2029, Jul. 2004, Peer-reviwed, We study both the activation energy for diffusion and dynamics of nanoscale clusters of a Frenkel-Kontrova chain subject to the microscopic friction, in connection with atomic friction phenomena. We clarify the atomistic mechanism for the presence of a magic size for diffusion and show how the magic size effects appear in the friction. When a cluster is pulled by a constant driving force, the critical force strength of depinning depends crucially on the cluster size, and it is smallest at the magic size. When a cluster is pulled by a spring at a constant velocity below the critical value, clusters show a stick-and-slip motion, and the maximum force of a spring also becomes smallest at the magic size.

  • Kinetics in surface reconstructions on GaAs(001)
    A Ohtake; P Kocan; J Nakamura; A Natori; N Koguchi
    PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS, AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC, 92, 23, 236105-1-236105-4, Jun. 2004, Peer-reviwed, We have successfully controlled the surface structures of GaAs(001) by changing incident As-molecular species. Under As-4 fluxes, the c(4x4) reconstruction with Ga-As dimers [c(4x4)alpha structure] is obtained, but the formation of three As-As dimer structures [c(4x4)beta structure] is kinetically limited. On the other hand, the structure change from the (2x4), through c(4x4)alpha, to c(4x4)beta phases is observed under As-2 fluxes. We found that the c(4x4)alpha structure is energetically metastable and provides a kinetic pathway for the structure change between the (2x4) and c(4x4)beta phases under As-2 fluxes.

  • Surface electromigration of in-covered Si high-index surfaces

    APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 212, 249-254, May 2003, Peer-reviwed, To clarify the role of facet in electromigration on the vicinal Si(0 0 1), we investigated in this study surface mass transport of In on Si high-index (1 0 3) and vicinal (0 0 1) surfaces, using scanning Auger microscope, low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and atomic force microscope (AFM). In parallel with (1 0 3), we also investigated similarly the most stable high-index (1 1 3) of Si for reference. Specimens with a large area of these surfaces were prepared from Si(0 0 1) wafer by cutting, grinding and polishing. No surface electromigration of In on Si(1 0 3) surface was observed at any temperature, while In overlayer exhibited a typical Stranski-Krastanov mode of growth. This fact strongly suggests that In adatoms move around over the intermediate layer, but there is no driving force of electromigration on them. The electromigration on the vicinal Si(0 0 1) depended upon the off-angle. It was most enhanced with the off-angle of around 4degrees. Based upon these results a model is proposed to explain the puzzling electromigration of In on vicinal Si(0 0 1). We found out that In on Si(1 1 3) exhibited a normal surface electromigration towards cathode. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

    表面科学, The Surface Science Society of Japan, 24, 9, 550-555, 2003, Peer-reviwed, The energy barrier and penetration depth of a hole are studied for ultrathin SiO2/Si interfaces. Layer thickness dependence and injected carrier concentration dependence are calculated for the superlattice structure, by using a first-principles pseudo-potential approach based on the density-functional theory. A new method to evaluate the energy barrier is proposed, which is derived from calculation of both the energy band structure and behavior of the Bloch function. The energy barrier for a hole is reduced with a decrease in Si layer thickness by confinement effect and is reduced also with the monolayer thickness of SiO2. The energy barrier increases by electron injection and decreases by hole injection.

  • Photoluminescence of charged magneto-excitons in InAs single quantum dots

    APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 190, 1-4, 205-211, May 2002, Peer-reviwed, We calculated the photoluminescence spectra of charged magneto-excitons in single two-dimensional parabolic quantum dots, using an unrestricted Hartree-Fock method. The calculated luminescence spectra explain well the observed red shifts of transition energies of InAs/GaAs single quantum dot by additional electron capture in a dot. The magnetic-field-induced transition of the ground state configuration of trapped electrons causes drastic change in the photoluminescence spectra. The dependence of photoluminescence intensities of charged excitons on the excess energies of photogenerated carriers above the bulk GaAs energy gap is studied phenomenologically, by calculating the steady state electron population probability in a dot.

  • In-phase step wandering on vicinal Si(111) surfaces
    A Natori; N Suga
    APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 190, 1-4, 96-102, May 2002, Peer-reviwed, The step structure transition between a regular step and a bunched step on vicinal SiO(111) surfaces induced by DC is studied by the kinetic Monte Carlo simulation in a terrace-adatom-step-kink (TASK) model. In the TASK model, effective force due to DC is taken into account explicitly on the mass transport of Si adatoms. In the diffusion-limited regime corresponding to the experimental temperature range Pi, step bunching is induced by step-up force and in-phase wandering of a regular step is formed by step-down force. The in-phase wandering of a regular step is formed by nucleation growth mode and the amplitude of wandering grows with time in proportion to roott. The period of in-phase wandering decreases as the effective force increases, consistent with the recent experimental results. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

    Jpn. J. Appl. Phys., The Japan Society of Applied Physics, 40, 12, 6976-6979, 2002, Peer-reviwed, To investigate the Au–Si bonding feature on Si(111) surfaces, surface energy calculations have been performed for $1 \times 1$- and $\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$-Au/Si(111) systems by the first-principles method in a local density approximation. It was found that the Au overlayer considerably stabilizes the Si(111) surface. By analyzing the changes in the surface energy and the charge density at various Au positions on the surface, it was shown that the large electronegativity of Au produces covalent-like Au–Si bonds by either terminating dangling bonds of surface Si or inducing the charge transfer from Si–Si to Au–Si bonds, both of which promote surface stabilization and determine the Au overlayer height on Si(111) surfaces.

    A Natori; H Harada; NJ Wu; H Yasunaga
    APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 169, 20-24, Jan. 2001, We study the strain effect on the surface melting of Si(1 1 1) flat surfaces using Monte Carlo simulation and the empirical Tersoff-Dodson potential. The in-plane strain effect an the atomic structures and the atomic dynamics were investigated at a fixed temperature of 0.82T(m). Surface melting of Si(1 1 1) was induced by either compressive or tensile strain. As the strength of strain increases beyond the critical strength of about 1.5 and 2.5%, respectively, far compressive and tensile strain, the waiting time for surface melting decreases. In the lateral pair correlation function of the melting layers, only the nearest-neighbor correlation remains. Si atoms in the melting layers has a constant diffusion coefficient irrespective of the sign and strength of applied strain. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Surface electromigration of In on vicinal Si(001)
    K Sakamoto; NJ Wu; A Natori; H Yasunaga
    APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 169, 480-484, Jan. 2001, Surface mass transport of In film on vicinal Si(0 0 1) has been systematically investigated by a scanning Auger electron microscopy (SAM), low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was observed that the temperature dependence of the mass transport shows the critical phenomenon. Above a critical temperature T-c, surface electromigration of the In film toward the cathode side dominated the surface mass transport on the vicinal Si(0 0 1) surface. The LEED and AFM observations revealed that the In film surface on the vicinal Si(0 0 I) consists of 3 x 4 terraces and (3 1 0) facets. The area ratio of the facet to the terrace exhibited abrupt an increase at T-c. It is believed that the change of the mass transport is related to the abrupt change of the area ratio of the facet to the terrace. Both the critical temperature T-c and the spread due to the surface electromigration of the In film depended on the configuration of the DC current direction and the step edge.

The surface electromigration of the Au film was found when a de current was passed through the MoS2 substrate. The Au ultrathin film on MoS2 grew in a typical Volmer-Weber (V-W) growth mode, The AFM measurements indicated that the distribution of the Au islands exhibited clearly a preferential lateral spread towards the cathode, that is, the surface electromigration took place. The direction of the surface electromigration on MoS2 is opposite to that of the Au electromigration on Si. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 62, 19, 12955-12962, Nov. 2000, We study a charged exciton in two-dimensional parabolic quantum dots containing N (0 less than or equal to N less than or equal to 12) electrons in a magnetic field by using an unrestricted Hartree-Fock method, in both strong and weak confinement regimes for electrons and holes. In the case of strong confinement, our results on absorption intensities and shifts in energies of interband transitions compare well with recent experiments by Warburton er al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 5282 (1997)]. In the weal; confinement regime, the calculated absorption spectra show new features reflecting the transition of the many-electron ground state, both in the absence and in the presence of external magnetic fields. The dependence of the intensity and the energy shift of transitions on the electron occupation and on magnetic fields is studied. The fine structure of interband absorption spectra due to both magnetic fields and the asymmetry between electrons and holes and the effects of polarization of lights are predicted, which can be detected in experiments on single dots.

  • Ordering dynamics of anisotropic missing dimer clusters on Si(001) surfaces
    T Kawabe; A Natori
    SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 462, 1-3, 181-186, Aug. 2000, Two types of anisotropic missing dimer cluster have been observed on (2 x 1) Si(001) surfaces: a missing dimer line parallel to the dimer direction and a missing dimer row parallel to the dimer row. The appearance condition of each type of cluster and their formation dynamics were studied using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of the lattice gas model of missing dimers with interaction calculated by the Stillinger-Weber potential. A missing dimer row cluster exerts on a single missing dimer in the same dimer row an attractive interaction in the non-rebonded side and a repulsive interaction in the rebonded side. The dominant types of cluster formed by annealing of random missing dimers changes with increasing missing dimer concentrations from missing dimer line clusters to missing dimer row clusters. As the annealing temperature increases the average size of missing dimer line clusters reduces, while that of missing dimer row clusters increases. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

    SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 438, 1-3, 162-172, Sep. 1999, We study the surface melting of vicinal Si(111) surfaces by means of the Monte Carlo simulation using empirical Tersoff-Dodson potential. The dependence of the atomic structures and the atomic dynamics on the temperature, the adatom coverage and the vicinal angle were calculated. Surface melting occurred on Si(111) vicinal surfaces without Si adatom coverage, while surface melting on flat Si(111) surfaces occurred only with Si adatoms higher than the critical coverage. The melting behavior on vicinal surfaces was guile different, with or without Si adatom coverage. Without Si adatom coverage, surface melting started from the upper terraces of step edges after a finite annealing time. With Si adatom coverage, the melting evolved homogeneously from the top layer in proportion to the annealing time. As the vicinal angle increases, the critical temperature of surface melting lowers. In the lateral distribution function of the melting layers, only the nearest-neighbor correlation is kept and the farther distance correlation is lost. Si atoms in the melting layers move about along the surface with a diffusion coefficient irrespective of the adatom coverage. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Stability of anisotropic missing dimer clusters on Si(001) surfaces
    A Natori; T Kawabe
    SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 433, 600-604, Aug. 1999, Two kinds of anisotropic structures of missing dimer clusters have been observed on (2 x 1) Si(001) surfaces: one is elongated along the dimer direction (missing dimer line) and the other along the dimer row direction (missing dimer row). The cohesive energy of missing dimer clusters was calculated as a function of the number, m, of missing dimers in a cluster, using Stillinger-Weber inter-atomic potential. The cohesive energy became positive in the range of nt 2 2 for missing dimer line (MDL) clusters, while that of missing dimer row (MDR) clusters became positive in the range of m greater than or equal to 3 but exceeded the cohesive energy of MDL clusters. MDL clusters are stabilized by alignment along the dimer direction of rebonded bonds, and the cohesive energy increases linearly with m. MDR clusters are stabilized by formation of alternate rebonded bonds along the dimer row direction, relaxing the strain energy caused by rebonded bonds. The cohesive energy of MDR clusters increases oscillating with In and the cohesive energy of a cluster in a size of 2n became smaller than that of (2n - 1). The growth of odd-numbered MDR clusters is endothermic but the growth of even-numbered clusters is exothermic. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

    A Natori; M Murayama; D Matsumoto; H Yasunaga
    SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 409, 2, 160-170, Jul. 1998, Both the decay process of a crater or a hillock on Si(111) and the step bunching formation accompanying the decay of a periodic array of craters or hillocks on vicinal Si(111) are investigated by using the lattice gas model. We considered two elementary atomic processes, hopping with the Schwoebel effect and evaporation, and carried out the time dependent Monte Carlo simulation. The decay process of a crater or a hillock is caused by the difference of the equilibrium adatom concentrations between at the crater or the hillock edge and at the nearest step edge. The size of a crater or a hillock decreases approximately linearly with time for both kinetics of the diffusion limited and the capture limited. For a periodic array of craters or hillocks on a vicinal surface, the step bunching is formed at the upper side of craters or the lower side of hillocks with the decay of craters or hillocks, in the diffusion-limited kinetics. The evaporation of adatoms accelerates the growth rate of the step bunching and extends the bottom width of craters, reducing the step bunching width. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

    APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 130, 616-622, Jun. 1998, The heteroepitaxy of KBr on a KCl(001) surface with a small misfit of 4.3% and KCl on a NaCl(001) surface with a large misfit of 11.7% are studied. The interplay between a lattice mismatch and a growth mode, and the atomic-scale mechanism of the misfit accommodation are investigated. The stable atomic configurations were calculated by minimizing the total interaction energy between the ions. For both systems, a layer growth mode is energetically more favorable than an island growth mode. For KBr/KCl(001), the pseudomorphic strained layer structure with the lateral lattice constant of a KCl substrate is more stable up to the critical thickness of 4 monolayers than the commensurate layer structure with KCl(001). For KCl/NaCl(001), the pseudomorphic strained layer structure is energetically unfavorable at all the coverages, and the grown film takes the commensurate layer structure at 1 monolayer. At 2 and 3 monolayers, the stacking fault structure with a fourfold periodicity of a substrate was investigated, and the novel structure was proposed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

  • Surface-electromigration-induced step structure transition on Si(111) vicinal surfaces
    A. Natori
    The step structure transition between a regular step and a bunched step on vicinal Si (111) surfaces induced by DC is studied by the kinetic Monte Carlo simulation in a terrace-adatom-step-kink (TASK) model of a vicinal surface. In the TASK model, effective force due to DC is taken into account explicitly on both diffusion process of Si adatoms and capture/emission process at a step edge. In the capture-limited regime, step bunching is induced by stepdown force and a regular step is formed by step-up force, corresponding to the experimental temperature range I. In the diffusion-limited regime, step bunching is induced by step-up force and in-phase wandering is induced on a regular step by step-down force, corresponding to the experimental temperature range II. The relation of the two regimes with "non-transparent" and "transparent" conditions at step edges is discussed., The Japanese Association for Crystal Growth (JACG), 2002, 日本結晶成長学会誌, 29, 1, 44-49, English, Peer-reviwed, Introduction other, 0385-6275, 110002715521, AN00188386
