Detailed Study of Atomic Silicon Dangling Bond Charge State Dynamics on the Surface of Hydrogen Terminated Silicon (100)–2 × 1
DownloadFall 2015
Atomic Silicon Dangling Bonds (DBs), which are natural quantum dots, are sites where silicon atoms on a hydrogen-terminated silicon surface have no bound hydrogen atom (leaving an un-reacted sp3 hybrid orbital). These DBs hold the promise of new ultra-low power devices based on the Quantum...

On a perfect hydrogen-terminated Si(100)-2x1 surface, each surface silicon atom is capped with exactly one atom of hydrogen. When one of the capping hydrogen atoms is removed, the now unsatisfied orbital of the underlying silicon atom is exposed at that site. This site is better known as a...

As our lives become increasingly intertwined with technology, the amount of digital information created every day grows substantially. Massive data centres handle the current demand for storage; however, these buildings can have large footprints, requiring swaths of dedicated physical space. One...
