Structure and energetics of the Si- SiO2 interface

Abstract

Using a Monte Carlo approach, we identify low-energy structures for the (001)-oriented Si-SiO2 interface. The optimal interface structure found consists of an ordered array of Si-O-Si “bridges,” with low strain energy. This structure explains several puzzling experimental observations. © 2000 The American Physical Society.
