Abstract

Silicon nanowires grown along the 100 direction with a bulk Si core are studied with density-functional calculations. Two surface reconstructions prevail after exploration of a large fraction of the phase space of nanowire reconstructions. Despite their energetical equivalence, one of the reconstruc...
