A recently developed potential function for covalent materials (Phys. Stat. Sol.B212, 9 (1999)) is used to simulate the surface adsorption, and diffusion of Si adtom and ad-dimer on the Si(001) surface. We calculate the formation energies and diffusion activation energies of several possible binding sites. The predicted stable and metastable configurations and diffusion paths of Si ad-atom and Si ad-dimer on Si(001)-(2×1) surface are in agreement with that from the first principle calculations or experiments.

Abstract R. K. R. curves have been constructed for the ground state of alkali halide diatomic molecules and compared with the well behaved empirical potential function. It is found that the modified form of Rittner's potential accurately reproduces the R. K. R. curves.

True potential energy curves have been calculated for the A and X states of BiF and PbF molecules using the Rydberg–Klein–Rees (R.K.R.) method as modified by Vanderslice et al. It has already been shown that by fitting an empirical potential function to the actual potential (R.K.R.) curve of a state we can obtain an idea of the correct dissociation energy of the molecule in that particular state. The three-parameter Lippincott function has been used for this purpose. The resulting dissociation energies for the ground states of PbF and BiF are (2.4 ± 0.2) eV and (2.60 ± 0.2) eV respectively. In PbF a large number of band systems are known, two of which show predissociation in the upper excited state. It has been found possible to account for both of these predissociations in PbF as being due to the A state of the molecule.
