Understanding the atomic-scale contrast in Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy
Laurent Nony, Adam S. Foster, Franck Bocquet +1
A numerical analysis of the origin of the atomic-scale contrast in Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) is presented. Atomistic simulations of the tip-sample interaction force fiel…
Adsorption of metal impurities on H-terminated Si surfaces and their influence on the wet chemical etching of Si
Teemu Hynninen, Adam S Foster, Miguel A Gosalvez +2
We use first-principles methods to investigate the adsorption of Cu, Pb, Ag, and Mg onto a H-terminated Si surface. We show that Cu and Pb can adsorb strongly while Ag and Mg are f…
First principles electron transport: finite-element implementation for nanostructures
Paula Havu, Ville Havu, Martti J. Puska +3
We have modeled transport properties of nanostructures using the Green's function method within the framework of the density-functional theory. The scheme is computationally demand…
The role of nitrogen related defects in high-k dielectric oxides: Density functional studies
J. L. Gavartin, A. S. Foster, G. I. Bersuker +1
Using ab initio density functional total energy and molecular dynamics simulations, we study the effects of various forms of nitrogen post deposition anneal (PDA) on the electric p…
